Question clutch adjustments?

ok just got back in from driving around the block checking the clutch, it only slips in 3rd but not that bad and it doesnt slip all the time. but when it does slip it slips when the turbo kicks in at 3k and revs almost to 4k but after that its fine i turned the boost down also. what should i do!!!!?

(ive only really messed up a launch once and that was 2 weeks ago and i dont launch my car that much. prob all together 5 times since i got the clutch 3000 miles ago.)

If this is the stock clutch, the slippage is going to get worse very rapidly. Plan on a new clutch soon. What happens is that the pressure plate starts bottoming out on the rivets so it prevents full grab. Just a little more wear and the clutch is going to slip like mad since the pressure plate is already bottomed out. The spring in the pressure plate has a broader working range but unfortunately you are not able to take advantage of it.
