Default Clutch different feel after driving it hard...

Anyone else notice the feel of their clutch is different after they romp on it? It's not permanent, just for a few miles then it's back to it's old self again.

When your romping it, you are glazing the clutch. It is the same exact thing as brake fade in autocrossing. Slipping a clutch and romping it hard for an extended period of time will cause clutch fade.

Alright cool, thanks for the feedback. I romp on it maybe 1-2 times a week, so I notice things like this.
