I personally have found that when your woman gets 'upitty', that beat'in her down with yur pimp kane is quite helpful.

Also stun guns and mace can help.

This is when the motor is producing the most torque, and the low (or high, however you look at it) gears (1st/2nd) are putting the torque to the road.

I've found that the first signs of slippage generally occur during hard acceleration when winding out second gear. Start by rolling at 25MPH in second - hammer it and try to pay attention to both the road and the tach. See if the RPM's are increasing proportionally with the speed of the vehicle. If you notice blips in the RPM, or a quick spike in the RPM when you get up around 4-6K (engine is producing the most torque), then you have clutch slippage.

Generally 5th gear is the easiest geat IMO to NOT slip in. The engine is generally at low RPM and not producing a ton of torque and the car is already moving at higher speeds. Maybe I'm wrong though?

200k isnt unreasonable out of our vintage VAGs, if not abused.

Like my understanding that when it slips the rpms will just climb higher without the car going any faster. When I'm in 5th gear at 3500 rpms, the rpm will fluctuate -+200 with an occasional 500 rpms drop. This doesn't seems like how rpms are affected by clutch slippage so I think I need to look elsewhere for my problem.

I've driven it the last 15K miles and the clutch gets heavily abused. Gotta love my school with bumper to bumper stop sign traffic going up an extreamly steep hill.
