EBC clutch springs are your friend

That does not sound like clutch slip due to springs, stock ones are fine. Sounds more like cable is stiff or basket notched.

When I rebuilt the engine for SH2 I used EBC Heavy Duty plates and spring kit. And yes you can feel the difference. However not sure if I would recomend the Heavy Duty kit as it can be tiresome in town. Standard EBC should be fine. Or OEM of course...

I did oil my cables not long after I got it. Might as well renew it though as its getting old .
Thanks for the notching tip Chris .

I thought u could hear the plates rattling in the basket if the basket was notched

The EBC springs fixed my clutch slip in 5th and 6th.

Not necassarily

An initial thought:
If the clutch is not adjusted right, both at the cable and the lifter, then you can get clutch slip as the plates wear. This does not mean the plates are past their service limit, but can change the adjustment at the lifter, meaning it is not completely engaged when you release the lever.

You can fix this by adjusting everything carefully, or by buying brand new plates that are slightly thicker and moving everything back to where it was last time someone adjusted it. But that works out quite dear...

Worth a look?

Word of warning, EBC heavy duty clutch plates are like cream crackers

Never again.

Standard clutch is plenty strong enough - if it's working right that is.
