1st gear (on street tires) puts the least stress on the clutch. 5th gear from a 3,000 RPM punch is what taxes your clutcht the most.


possible causes for the slipage is not using thread lock on the pressure plate bolts so they backed out, or a leaky front T5 seal getting tranny fluid on the clutch.
