it actually slipped a couple times in 5th last month...and then yesterday coming back from Manhattan
it started slipping in every gear coming through the Lincoln Tunnel. I was like wtf? So it kind of just came out of no where. Also, I'm not sure if where a RMS would show signs of leakage, but I have been noticing oil on the rear of my belly pan which I've always been trying to figure out.

I actually spoke with them already, and told me to bring it in nxt wk....
I'm in really good w/ the owners of my indy shop, and I have a lot of trust in them. They've never done me wrong, so I'm gonna see what they say. If it is in fact the RMS that is causing my clutch to slip, I'll probably tackle it myself with some friends (hopefully). Thanks for the pic.

removing the tranny on a garage floor was well...
the biggest pain in my *** ever.
oh, and if you do replace it, get an OEM one. I put a fel-pro one on and it didn't fit right.
