Slipping Clutch?

[MSP2k3]

I think my clutch showed its first signs of slipping this morning. I was merging onto the Interstate and laid into it in 4th gear and as soon as i hit full boost the car kinda shuttered and the rpm's kinda went up and I did not go anywhere. I let off the gas and laid into it slower the next time and it seemed fine. When i got off the interstate I gave it 3/4 throttle in 2nd gear and it pulled just fine. If it is cold outside will it have any effect on how well the clutch grabs?

I have heard that when a clutch starts to go it will slip in the higher gears first. Is this what I am experiencing?

If so, how long can you ride out a clutch once it starts slipping?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I drove 2 months with my old clutchmasters stage IIR. Just go easy on it and don't let it or it can burn up fast!

I guess i'll have to start looking for a new clutch. Any brands i should stay away from?

yep, stay away from SPEC. I know some have had good luck, but I would not buy from them again.
outlaw has got it right, EXEDY FTW!

Exedy stage 1 it is... i have heard some people say they don't like the lightweight flywheel on their DD. What is the reason for this?

[MSP2k3]

bump, what is the reason people would stay away from the lightweight flywheel for a DD?

a ligherwieght flywheel makes it harder to take off, esp. on a hill, but they accelerate so fast i say get it!
