Question Clutch Slip T5 SPF?

I'm noticing my clutch slip, especially in 3rd and 4th gear. Engine and Tranny have only 1500 gentle miles (FRM 392 Stroker and T5). When I'm thumping along at about 2500rpm and steadily throttle it, the rmp's build unusually fast without the torque that you'd expect. Definate sensation of slippage.

Any initial thoughts as to what I might check?

Thanks!
Jeff.

Hydraulic or slave?

Is it wet in there? Hopefully it is not.

You can adjust the linkage back so when your foot is off the clutch, the disc is fully engaged.

Look in your footbox, make sure all the linkage is tight, there is a lot going on down there. You can also choose several levels of throw on the petal itself, and the shaft itself can be lengthened. Make sure it is all tight.

Look for clutch fluid, if you find some, trace it back to its origin.

Wow, great, thanks. I'll check these things.

When it comes to tranny, that's where I get lost.
