Is my Clutch OK ?
Lately I've been experiencing similar to clutch slipping after heavy driving abuse shifts.
As soon as I press the gas pedal after 9K shifts, the revs will climb up again for a second then will go down again to the proper rpm. This looks like the clutch is slipping under heavy abuse. I made sure my left foot was not resting on the clutch pedal.
Testing the clutch, I stopped on straight level road and tried to launch on 6th gear (releasing the clutch slowly) and the engine stalled. I even tried to accelerate on 6th gear in an Uphill and the revs did not pick up.
Current mods on car
I/E/H setup
Spoon PP / OEM disk / Toda Flywheel
Is my clutch busted or should I look at something else?

I let it cool down for 10min after the abuse.
As XXX240 says early stages of it going!

How long should the clutch pedal go down in order to manage to shift ? I can shift by just pressing the clutch pedal a third of the way to the floor which is around 2inches. On an uphill on 6th gear, just after pressing the pedal down to around 5mm, the revs climb up slowly, at 10mm the revs go up faster with the shift stick still hard to disengage.
IIRC this was always like that since i changed my clutch.
Could it be It only needs a setting. I changed the clutch around 7K miles ago.

I think another way to test for slippage is to go on the parkway and in 5th gear @ 3-4K rpm, push the accelerator to the floor and see in the rpms climb without increase in speed.
