Do you smell your clutch often, or do you feel the RPMs are trying to catch up on you when you get on it? When your clutch slips it's kind the same feeling when you are driving in the rain and get on it, the car starts to lose traction the RPMs go up very fast, and you let off the gas and the RPMs dive back down.

btw, im getting pulsating / a series of bumping feeling on my clutch lately... any thoughts ? is it because im holding it beyond the friction point.. or just a tad bit before the friction point. i just cant get a smooth take consistently anymore.

No haven't experienced any of that except that nasty fish smell when I burned the clutch going up my driveway for the first time. I think I'm paranoid because this is my first manual car because i only have about 1,500 miles. It would be very sad if i had to replace it already but again I'm just paranoid because i have only driven one other manual car I don't think its a good comparison and that was a Geo Metro..

Question, would the clutch only slip if under hard acceleration? Reason is because i just got some HFC installed and when under hard acceleration it seems that the rpms are trying to catch up in 2nd gear into 3rd or are the tires spinning so much that im not getting traction. If so is this when you know to replace it? I only have 11,xxx miles. Thanks.
