Default M6 Slipping from 2000-3000 RPM, WTF???

As some may have read in my previous post, I burnt the **** out of my stock clutch, lol!!! So bad that when you step on the gas anywhere in between 2000-3000 rpm, it jumps and revs then grabs, like an auto that has a bad tranny. After my ram install, I stepped lightly on the gas to see if the problem is still there, it is . My clutch also doesn't grab until it's almost completly out, very minimal pressure is needed to slap it in gear, So what seems to be the problem, and what else do i need to install??? I am going to order a Master Cylinder from Futural Motorsports next week, is this going to solve the issue with the slipping or just the pressure of the clutch??? Help, leave a detailed post, and if you had this problem, how did you fix it???

The clutch not grabbing until near the top of the pedal and releasing like you describe is usually a sign of a worn or poorly adjusted clutch. I'm not familiar with the ram but you don't seem to have enough clearance between the clutch and the slave cylinder and I don't think a master is going to help that.

so if I don't have enough clearance between the clutch and slave, then a shim is needed??? Can I get any type of shim, or is there a special kind that I need??? I was just going to upgrade the master because its recommended and also I hear Alan @ Futural is great with his ****, that's the only reason why.

Your master cylinder braided line could be the cause.It could be damaged causing the hydrolic fluid to return to the master slow.

I don't have one but I believe the shim goes on the opposite side of the slave. Please someone correct me if i'm wrong because I have a shim made by Ram sitting somewhere. TSP sells them for like 15 bucks.
