I've heard you can adjust your clutch to make it last a little longer after it starts slipping. Anyone know if this is true and if so, in which direction do you adjust it?

So you're saying that driving on a hill in the first 6 miles is not following the break in period? and is going to void the warranty?
My bought my car with 15K so I didn't have to break it in so I don't know. Just another noob looking for some info...
My clutch could not hold the car on a hill, this occured the same day I purchased the car - brand new, with 6 miles on it. I'm pretty sure the stock EVO clutch is designed to slip straight from the factory (in an effort to protect the drivetrain from inexperienced driver inputs). Got a WORKS stg. II clutch, and couldn't be happier.

Not to ressurect the dead here, but My clutch started slipping the beginning of last November ('08), I pretty much babied it since then and it finally started slipping under medium acceleration in 1st and very very low acceleration in 5th last week. My car was/is completely bone stock and I had about 19k miles last november, and I have about 28k now.
