Yea its the clutch, mine did the same thing. Mine went out in like 2 days after it started slipping. It depends though because mine was burnt to crisp.

yeah, if it's slipping in 3rd gear, it's gonna be gone real quick... turn your boost way down and stay out of WOT and you'll buy yourself a little time...

my clutch has been slipping for over a month now, i have a new clutch sitting here. i just don't have the funds to get it installed. i just set the car to low boost and don't get on it. i'm sure you can get a month or two out of it if you do it that way

I would go with an Exedy clutch, way better grip than the ACT

Couldn't help but notice the extent of your mods in relation to your power. You should go see Precision Dyno. I bet he can work his magic on your car and extract more power. A guy who works there has a 3" turboback, 272 cams, MBC, and an ECUTEK flash. He puts down 310-315 on a Mustang Dyno, a low reading one.

The guy is in TN.??

To navysevo, you should definitely talk to Precision Dyno about the clutch. Their price is cheaper then my own if I were to do it.

Way off topic, but the DD dyno his numbers are from reads even lower than Mustang, or any other dyno. 275 on a DD is a good #. We're barely dynoing 300 here and trapping 112-114 on pump gas. Forget the dyno #s...
