Clutch no longer slipping...

[Subru]

A few weeks/months ago my clutch was slipping (noticed it on 4th when I put foot down, probably did in 5th and 6th too) but in the last couple of weeks I have had no issues with slipping or anything. My clutch was due to be changed in a few weeks and wondering if I should cancel this or do you think the clutch still needs doing? Is there any explanation why it would have been slipping but not anymore?

it wont slip in high gears it'll slip on WOT in the low gears yes get it changed now while you are prepared for it. otherwise it'll bend you over and hide a dog roll in your arse later

How come it slipped in higher gears but not in lower ones? when it starts to slip does it start with the high or low gears as I have heard both... lol

I just dont wanna get the clutch changed if It still had a few years life in it aye...

few things.
heat, a clutch in high gears is not as hot at cruise speeds as at fun speeds on account of not moving as much. with it being colder- like performance brakes dont work as well.

but I guarantee if you do a 1st or second gear wot pull it'll slip somewhere between 4-6k rpm, that's on account of more tprque than clamp can handle.

just change it now man.

uhh, idk. I done a couple of 1&2 gear decent pulls and didnt seem to have any issues. I might get it done anyway tho.

When mine went it started in 5th an progressed down the gears over the next couple weeks after that. 

 

Have heard some stories on the web of clutches going bad when people had a rear main seal leak and the oil makes the clutch slip but I dunno if that is a real thing, I've never known anyone who had it happen to them lol.
