Are you seeing slip in other gears too? generally speaking, slippage of a clutch that is simply worn out will occur in high load (higher gear, lower RPM) situations first. Have you noticed this? Ultimately, slippage is slippage but it is possible that this is not simply wear related. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

The F-body used the same basic clutch from 98-02. As for the slippage issue this really is an unusual situation. If you are certain that the clutch is slipping then pull it out and send me some pics, or post them here for further assessment. Thanks,
