Default AEM Cold Air Intake

i just recently installed an AEM cold air intake into my s2k '02. up until now, the car has ran outstanding. once the intake was installed, i took it around the block. all seemed fine until i shifted a few times and noticed my clutch slipping. it rapidly got worse over the course of the night. while i was driving home the clutch REALLY started to slip, so much that when i shift the rpm's only go up but no power is put to the wheels. i understand that intakes have nothing to do with the clutch/tranny but this does not seem like a coincidence to me. only because the clutch was running in tip top shape just before. could this have anything to do with my ECU? if anyone has a clue as to what this might be (besides the obvious) please help . thanks

The clutch has nothing to do with the ECU or the AEM intake in any way. Your clutch prolly just went out.

It's a coincidence.
I see you have a MY'00. Has the clutch fluid EVER been changed? Have you burned the clutch in some way lately? ---- Like launching, starting off on a steep hill, or a bunch of really bad shifts?
