Do you have a firewall adjuster or stock clutch quadrant? Sound like it might be an issue there. I don't care what brand it is, it shouldn't be slipping in only 6 months unless you are doing 5k dumps every time you take off in first gear or it was installed incorrectly.

so thats why that son of a bi*ch went out so soon in the words of pro "drive it like you stole it" i like the king cobra for the first 2000 miles then it started giving me problems, but i know some people that drive MUCH less aggressive than i do and the cobra has lasted a while for them
