Default Dumb Question: Does a clutch slip more when hot??

Just checking, just had T34 put on my Saff with standard clutch, was warned it might slip and has been doing so when ragging it, but kinda intermittently - seem to have heard that this happens more when it's warmed up but not sure??

Not sure about the hot and cold part but when i had a T34 set up on mine with

green injector's the clutch lasted for almost a hour before it started sliping

and got bad very quickly

Did put a AP 4 paddle in which was very aggressive have now got a alcon 6 paddle

which is a lot smoother and more traffic freindly
