vr6 clutch sliping

[vwman2]

hey all,

just recently while entering the highway I got on the go pedal in 3rd gear and I noticed my clutch slip and was very surprised since I upgraded the clutch 2 years ago with G60/VR6 setup. I have upgraded nozzles and Malone stage 3 but never had a issue. will happen in 4th and 5th gears if I get on it. The clutch has around 85k on it since replacement. My wagon has 239k on it. I drive almost 150 miles everyday.

any ideas?

Thanks
Jamie

Same thing happened to me in my lifted Beetle with nozzles/tune/vnt17, it only lasted a year. My Jetta, with a 17/22 and lots of supporting mods, the vr6 clutch started slipping immediately.

Southbend Stage 2 Endurance clutches were the fix for both.
