Clutch Fade - Solution?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

If the clutch engages too high or there isn't free play at the top of the pedal then the PP might not be able to give 100% and it might just need some pedal adjustment. If it engages midway or close to he floor, then thats probably not the problem. You could be cheap and just throw in an ACT sprung 6-puck disc and see how that goes. If you want to do a whole new clutch and resurface the flywheel, then I would look into whatever Halon has in his car.

There is no engagement issue. I ordered a 6 puck ceramic disk, and I'll probably have the flywheel machined (with the .610" step height, I'll even bring my depth mic!)

It's a heat/fade problem. I think the organic disk couldn't handle the hard launch/run and 5 mins later again same stress.
