Hi...I chose the uprated Helix organic clutch .. and It seemed fine ....for about 1000 km then it started slipping badly :-( ...

Never had that problem before (18 years of Cossie driving) .. Car has a MSD380 setup but only running 25/21 psi so power/torque is limited...but still I got the rpm rising but no go when pressing the loud pedal ... :-(

Please let me know your thoughts ... I know that a oil leak could make these problems, but what else ...

Ok... the thing is that when I put the clutch in I was surpriced that it was just as easy to use/press as the standard clutch, as I was expecting it to harder as it is a uprated clutch witch was suposed to handle alot more power/torque ??? + as I wrote earlier, Car is only doing boost as my old stage 3 setup (320-330bhp) ...

If anything was broken, wouldnt I be able to hear some ratttle or something ???
