i dont possibly think that it could be going...it was a bone stock clip and it only has 23k miles on it. i revved it up today to try and spin the tires, which are really bad and dont have any grip whatsoever, and at about 4.5k, it just slipped like cazy and shot up to 7k all while gently rolling backwards. i mean, i can understand it slipping, but would it at that low an rpm? have any of you guys with ca18s ever experienced this? oh, and its the stock clutch, if you havnt gathered, which i looked at when i dropped the motor in, and it seemed fine (just gave it a quick glance, sealed the thing back up, and dropped in the motor/transmission as one).

thanks, tim
