hmmm.... mine actually occasionally also feels like a slip as well when taking off slowly, but I don't pay much mind to it. My car has 3500 miles on it too... I don't think you have a problem but obviously no one can tell you unless it was looked at.

Are you gonna go to the dealer? If so are you going to take off your mods so they don't blame you or would you just go with an aftermarket clutch anyway?
