Mine did the same thing. At first I wasn't sure if it was slipping or not, the 6th gear test didn't do anything and I questioned whether it was just in my head. It gradually got worse and it became apparent that the clutch was letting go. It took a couple months to go from "Is this in my head?" to "My clutch is definitely slipping." I probably I could have gotten a few more months out of it but I went ahead and swapped it for a new one. My advise would be to start saving your pennies, you might have a few months left in it but eventually it's gonna let go.

Having a full faced clutch disc with boost is never a good idea. It will slip and cause burns to the disc/flywheel.

Definately time to upgrade to a puck style clutch or a slightly heavier pressure plate.

I'm always a fan of a disc imporvement and NOT a pressure plate increase.

If a clutch is on the verge of slipping, it will do so in higher gears before it does in lower gears. You'll need to do a 4th or 5th gear WOT pull from say....3000 rpm or so to determine it for sure.

Plug in the greddy manager and log speed vs rpm. If the graphs don't match you're slipping.

I bolted my charger on at 13K miles and by 20K miles my OEM clutch was done. for DD I normally shift around 4.5K or so..

maybe the CDV plays a factor for the AP2 cars..I know some of the AP1's put a bit of miles before the clutch goes.
