Default Think my Spec III is going out! You tell me.

At any gear OTHER that first, if I hit it at low rpm (~2500) it acts like the tires spin, the tach shows the rpm's going up, but I don't go anywhere. The funny thing is that if I hit it hard in 1st, I can shift hard into 2nd, and go all the way through the gears with no slipping. It's just when I hit it at low rpm's it acts like it's slipping on me. What do you guys think? The clutch has been on the car for almost 2 years.

ttt

When I bought the clutch it was regarded as the best clutch around. I have not had any issues and the clutch has been great. I am just disapointed that it is going out already. It's only been down the track 6 times on drag radials! All other driving was easy street use. What next...Textralia?? LS7???

Oh yeah, WHY would the clutch hold when I'm getting on it hard but not when I ease into the throttle from low rpm's?
