Background:
After MSC, I still had the clucth slip issue, so I called Hans and told him my story... he immediately said to adjust the Firewall cable adjuster (duh, I should have thought of that).. So I adjusted the cable and sure enough the slippage disapeared.
Over the course of the next 2,000 times, I have had to adjust the firewall adjuster a half dozen times because of clutch slippage.
Yesterday I went to US41 to get some runs in, I had 4 total runs, and every one had at least a little clutch slip, especially at launch...
One thing I found interesting/weird was my second run... I lined up in the water box, activated the line-lock, poped the clutch @ 4,500 in 2nd gear, waited for the smoke, and nothing.. the track guy looks at me puzzled, and I have no idea why the tires aren't spinning... and I didn't even smell the clutch... So I then put it in first get the rpm's up and pop the clutch now the tires spin and smoke... weird as hell... the clutch held decent through the run.. my 60ft sucked.. I couldn't tell if it was spinning of clutch slip.
My best 60ft was a 1.99 and worst a 2.2... thes are the same ties that I consistently got 1.62-1.75's my last time out to the track
Any thoughts? ideas? or should I just bite the bullet and pull the Clutch/Flywheel out and inspect it?

First clutch issue appeared on the way to MSC5 Sept 2006 with 25,000 on the ODO.. while passing up a semi truck I downshifted and floored the gas, towards the top of the gear I could feel the clutch slipping and the rpm's jumped.. any subsequent attempt to give more than 50% throttle resulted in the RPM's jumping and the car not going anywhere... once I got to US41 I let the car cool down, and made some 1/4 passes about 6 in total... the clutch only slipped on two of the runs.DFX Clutch, Fluidanza Flywheel, Liberty 26 spline shaft, TOB all installed Dec of 2005 @ 21,000 Miles
