about 4 weeks post 5 speed swap
at no point until today have i had an issue with the clutch

i have no problem coming off a start, but just after 3k the clutch slips badly, regardless of the approach cruising and slowly increasing speed or whatever. after 3k the clutch has no bite and it's like the engine is free-wheeling

any suggestions beyond "get a new clutch"

there was no oil on the clutch, and the installation appeared food since drivability following the install was excellent

the clutch was doing great for the first few weeks.. and he is a farly good driver, as far as clutch use goes, heheh. the clutch is a ACT street disk, and heavy duty pressure plate on a stock resurfaced flywheel.
