WOW, instead of being a dick to everyone, learn to drive. Like an0malous said, he even has a VIDEO about the subject. You know a VIDEO for people who dont read so well, aka you.... Its like a moving picture book.... Anyway, if you shift at 3 grand or so when you normally drive, your slipping clutch will go away. Its weird the car likes the abuse in a way. So instead of arguing, look at what people are saying. Stock clutch is harder to drive, and has its own personality, however **** it at 3k during normal driving and it will firm back up.
Or just be mad at everyone and maintain ur lack of ability to operate your own car.

irons1n i dont think being a tech has that much affect on your driving ability. im not saying you are a shitty driver, just saying just because you have knowledge on how to fix cars doesnt automatically mean you have the knowledge to drive them "correctly"

lmao reading> U, man i never said when racing shift at 3k that is unless u daily driving on streets revolves around shifting at 7k? im talking when your driving to where your going... not racing... and yes i go to the track every possible moment i can, meaning shifting at yes 7k! and no i do not have any slip... call me what u want but driver mod> any mod....
hence why I say that...

ok, here's the deal. if the clutch slips in the MIDDLE of a gear, then it's a bad clutch. if it slips when you're shifting gears, it's a bad driver. end of story. learn to drive better, stop blaming the car.

i quess i should mention that im talking about being on a 10.50 in drag radial as well as a 50 shot as stated in my sig... but i know its my fault for not mentioning that, now i got alot of bashing that its "driver error" when i said i am a mechanic i was'nt trying to say i know everything. i was trying to say that i know how to drive a manuel trans i've driven lots of high end cars and lots and lots of pieces of ***** and my own 500hp 383 74 camaro... but none the less my clutch slips on the 2-3 shift on the 1-2 its sounds like the stock axels are gonna go it "barks" em so hard but on the 2-3 the revs stay high for a milisec after the shift and i know the tires are not spinning... a exedy stage 1 is probaly 1 1/2 times stronger. GM couldent spend a few more pennies...
if it grabbed and then hit "power band" and clutch slips but no...
i've seen the video... i am a regular to the site. umm i guess you could say i was just ranting on and on i am a auto tech as well and it was a long day i am sure you can relate .. but yes i know how to drive damn good i aint lying about that
umm my motor is still intact yours is ???????????????????? but i need to learn how to drive
none of them are on a 10.50 drag radial
this is the only guy who tried to offer help or support... and actually knew what he was talking about... while the rest of you bashed...

Its driver error. You suck at driving, end of story. I had 11,000 pretty hard miles on mine, 7,000 of those spent with 270+ whp. No slippage what so ever, even when powershifting, then when I looked at the clutch, it looked almost new. Hardly any wear on the disk, and very minor wear on the pressure plate.
Learn to drive.
Learn to drive. none of them are on a 10.50 drag radialthe stock clutch sucks donkey ***** period. the factory hydraulic system on these cars is also lacking for better wording. these two problems are hit and miss on every car, so some people have "clutch" problems and some dont. im not eliminating human error here just shedding some light. bottom line is the clutch and/or hydraulics in question here are a prob for more than, lets say, 20 percent of all cars out. that being said I would describe them as shitty products. gm should have done some more r and d on these cars before releasing them.

It seems people who shift at 3-3.5k during normal driving dont seem to have much of a slipping issue if any. Cars that are not made to powershift shouldnt be powershifted, I thought that was common sense?? If your going to beat on your car and power shift dont bitch about it when stuff breaks or dosen't work properly. I agree our clutch may not be the greatest out there but I have yet to have any problems with mine.

if your clutch slips in NORMAL driving conditions it's because YOU beat on it. it's pretty obvious that you have if you're running 13's and if so, the clutch wasn't built for that kind of abuse. all and all it is YOUR driving style. if it's such a problem, go and spend some of that mod money on an aftermarket clutch.

doesnt slip in normal driving..and never did,it just slipps when u get on it...during normal driving it is perfectly fine,even when u take it up to 5k and shift to next gear its fine,until u take it to redline and shift to next gear fast,thats when it slips..
