        What type of oil are you using? Energy conserving automotive oil will cause the clutch to slip.
        Basically, what we are saying is that you should troubleshoot down to root cause before spending any money on the clutch. Once you determine that worn fiber discs are the problem, then replace them. But there are several other possibilities that should be investigated first.
