New clutch by the sounds of it... although its very unusual as the car is only a year old. Warranty it, and dont believe any bull they tell you about clutches being consumable service items, and thus not covered by the warranty... clutches should last longer than a year.

Clutch slip on a '53? What have you been doing to the poor thing  s:?: :?: s:?:

How many miles have you done, and has the car been tracked at all?

This sounds like it could be a warranty job (at least the labour part of it anyway), assuming the dealership dont know you drove the car like you just stole it  s;) ;) s;)

I was thinking about clutches myself with the turbo on it's way, and I have to say that with 35k on the car ('02 plate) and a couple of airfield days, mine is as positive as the day I had it, so yours can't be right. Unless you drive with your foot on the pedal that is  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Upto 9psi mine is fine. 12psi  s:evil: :evil: s:evil:  and it's just starting to slip.Stock clutch still in, after nearly 2years of turbo. The stock, on a MT anyway, can take some punishment.
