Default Clutch is starting to slip.........
So i noticed about a week ago that hard shifting at WOT was NOT grabbing. It took a second to grab and I went uh oh. Not if It is slipping bad in 6th if I put more throttle then it should get. NOT GOOD. SO there goes my cam plans.

Any suggesitons. My centerforce dual friction was VERY good to me. I will NOT go with Spec 3. Any other suggestions? i'm up for something new!
