Sup, my clutch slips or have the similar symptom when the engine gets really warmed up(after 15 min). What should I check for? I just replaced the transmission and clutch(oem exedy replacement). The clutch was broken in correctly. it was fine for about 2 months until recently. AFter it gets really warmed up, u can floor it in any gear and it will start to rev then slowing catch.....thanx in advance...

Did you re-surfaced the flywheel and made sure that you clean/degreased it when you installed the clutch? You could have glazed the flywheel already if you didnt.

yes, i resurfaced the flywheel....etc. It was working fine for 3 months and now its doing this.....I pushed the car hard and drifted in that period AFTER the clutch break in... The weird thing is...it doesn't do it when its cold, only when it gets really warmed up.
