Just past break-in? I'd say it's probably the internals just getting their first workout. The car stinks for a while when you first get it. LITERALLY! You have your exhaust, and various engine and tranny parts getting up to hi temps and since your car is just a baby it's just part of your car becoming a beast I'd wait it out a bit if I were you. Unless you FEEL something slipping in the clutch.

Makes me feel better to hear that! Yea it has about 1,500 miles.

I Haven't tried the 5th gear slippage test or anything so I'm not sure its slipping. I'm going to keep my eye on it because it still doesn't seem right.
