Is My Clutch Slipping?

Over the last few weeks there have been a few times when I thought the clutch slipped. My clutch is 5-6 years old and has never been adjusted. It is a Lype and even now it has about 2" of free travel and hits the clutch brake fine, so I don't see how I can adjust it any better. Tranny is a T2180B, could the clutch pack in it be going bad? Or could the power divider be slipping?

Think about this for a bit. Its not gears slipping.Gears dont slip and then stop slipping. If a gear slipped it would have tolded you by now. So that neans its not in the trans or rear ends. That leaves the clutch so that was real simple to firgure. Mant times when a clutch slips its at high rpm or at the engines peek torque out put.Becuse you have not adjusted it does not mean that the springs have not weakened or the disc has not glased over with grease and if its a two plate there could have had one disc strip the spline or sear the rivets in the hub and this then makes it a single plate which could reduct its grip.Look in the bottom of the clutch open or flywheel housing for springs or metal and then let us know. A magnet is a good way to find metal in the housing.Back to the gears slipping. Gears have teeth and they dont slip with out shearing them for ever.A power divder is driven with teeth on gears.
