Default Overheated at Pocono East

Lots of shifting into and out of 3rd gear. Started to slip like crazy then would not go into gera until it cooled down - about 5 minutes. Thought it was my fault until I heard it has happened to others. Now what do I have to do spend $3,000 for a Sachs? Quit tracking it? Shift less?

Default Me, maybe..(read)

I get a loud mechanical squeel when gently launching in daily traffic. It only starts happening after I've been driving in stop and go traffic for a while (20minutes). Very annoying, not 100% sure it's the clutch or the throwout bearing, but the clutch won't engage until I let it out and the squeeling stops

Default I posted about 1 week ago, this was almost my exact experience - SPEC#2 with AWE KO4 MBox ...

on my 4th track day - spec#2 after 5th track session of the day started slipping in 3rd and 4th

got off the track immediately
cooled it off for 40 minutes
was ok after that - so far

I also get a metallic sound only at WOT.
Have not been able to figure it out.
Pretty sure it is either the clutch / awe lwfw under mazimum twist touching something ?
