My clutch just started slipping at WOT yesterday in third gear or higher.

I'm thinking either I'm leaking some oil onto it, the pressure plate bolts came loose, or the Star Stage 2 just isn't a long lasting clutch(only about 4k miles on it). Strange thing is, it was fine when I left my parent's house in Quincy, but it did it once on the highway right before I got into Champaign-Urbana, I thought maybe it was a fluke. Of course, its still doing it tonight. Guess I'll have to tear into it sometime soon to find the prize inside.

I've seen the Star clutch slip when really hot like after a run or two down the quater mile. Normally it comes back to it's grabby self after a good cool off period though. Hopefully it's nothing terrible.
