Question Akward slippy clutch....

So here's the problem, the clutch slips on higher boost ( 13psi+ ) and in higher gears, if i'm racing it'll slip a little going into 3rd and more in 4th, if i pin it in 4th from a roll or give it some throttle it'll slip to redline almost instantly....

on lower boost ( 10psi ) it doesent do this....

when i revv it in neutral with the clutch in the car starts to roll forward even if i'm on a flat road....

here's the catch though, in warmer weather it doesent slip at all....

could it be a bad master cylinder?, slave?...

i'm using a centerforce dual friction, i put it in a year ago and it has about 5000km's on it, it shouldnt be this bad i'm sure!...

my car put down 227rwhp and 248rwtq on the dyno, do you guys have ANY idea what could be wrong?, the clutch was broken in nicely too, i even gave it 1000km's for break in....

i have all supporting mods for higher boost, but i am on the stock turbo....

i have all the grab and grip of the cluch in 1st and 2nd that i want, even from a hard dig to burnouts, but in higher gears it slips and only in kold weather, i dont get it....

any idea's!?

That's typical of a clutch that's on it's way out and/or can't handle the power load.

that when it's kolder out it starts to slip?...

You make more power/torque in the cold.So it stands to reason if your clutch is at its limits or worn ,that it would be more pronounced in the cold.
