How many miles and do you launch it? Stock clutch can't handle much.

it can handle stock turbo power fine. Driving style and wear make a clutch go bad.

Either you glazed it up (making it slip till the glaze eventually wears off), oryou need a new clutch.

Uh huh. I have heard that from people who go through about a clutch every 18 months too. Its never them and their poor driving, its the car.

You have only had it for 10 days? Couldn't you tell it was slipping during the test drive? Didn't you check?

Whatever, this post is kind of pointless. You need a new clutch. Duh. You can replace with another stocker, or you can upgrade it a bit. You aren't making enough power right now for it to make much of a difference.

Look into a southbend stg2 TZ or a sb stage 3 if you're going to be doing any launching/driving hard.

stock clutch will be fine if you drive like an old lady.
