Thanks for chiming in Matt. I thought I simply wasn't making enough power to slip the clutch. I never had any probs with the Sachs kit even with the 2.0 conversion and racing. If you have a slipping clutch with less than 180 bhp you probably have a small oil leak due to a worn bushing inside the output shaft.
