I guess my 07 is due for slippage anytime now?
What a pisser, 20,000 miles and slippage already.
And not even driving her hard? Slipping the clutch
to maintain position on hills instead of using the brakes?
Do you side step the clutch or ever so slowly let the
clutch out with high RPMs to get started from a stop?
I just want to understand your driving habits and
what went wrong so I can try and avoid premature clutch falure.
Its the 9" Pontiac Fiero undersized clutch
premature failure problem all over again?

ive driven mine pretty conservatively, letting it out easy but only giving gas at the pressure point... my dad drives it a lot harder than i do. i dont drop it but every once in a while and i have 62K miles on it. I finally need to replace it and i think im going with the spec 2 or 3 seeing as im going procharger this summer

I sometimes side step the clutch but I never keep my foot on the clutch or keep the clutch in a lot.
Does anyone have suggestions for a new clutch? Spec or Centerforce?

Be careful on the replacement. I know the 07 is different than the 05/06's. I have seen a new Spec clutch not fit due to changes made by Ford on the 07 and up cars. Spec was unaware of the problem. They are redesigning it to fit these cars(but now my friend has no car till then)

what are the signs or what does a slipping clutch feel like? this may sound like a dumb question but I have never had a car where the clutch has gone out.....
is it something like if you ease it into first gear and give it gas your RPM's go up but your speedo remains constant?
