Default Were you driving hard when it was slipping?

If so, then it may only be glazed and will be fine. Otherwise, you'd better baby it and not limp it around (DON'T pull out without LOTS of time and no cars around if you're gonna drive it - we count on these cars having lots of power and when it's not there it could be disastrous). How many miles on it?

Default I've been driving with my "defective" spec stage 3 for 8k miles now..

and as long as I don't do any 4,400 rpm drag launches in 1st gear or shift hard into 2nd, or give it full throttle in 2nd around a 90degree bend....it doesn't slip at all. I'm making the switch in the spring, Spec is out, Clutchmasters
will be my new choice. Never heard of one of those being defective yet, and from what I've heard, their customer service/support doesn't suck.
