what is going on when a clutch starts to slip?

is that the pressure pad. Is there anything you can do to upgrade a clutch w/o buying a new clutch? kinda like breaks?

So are your RPM's taking off and not grabbing right for you? Just curious since I have never had one go on me.

All i can say is if you are into driving your max upgrade your clutch to act stage2 extreme street disc and pressure plate makes power to ground transfer so much better and no there is nothing you can do to up grade your factory clutch with out just replacing it with a better one.

hehe! in your sig you said "...coming in 45 days unless you need clutch then it's never coming..."

Well you'll probably need a new clutch after running NOS! Ask Sprintmax!

when your clutch begins to slip your rpms act normal and rise as you apply pressure the the gas but the car isn't really accelerating, it can't transfer the power.
