clutch slipping during track days

Can you give a more detailed explanation of exactly what you are perceiving? 29K seems really early for a clutch. A much more common problem is with boiling clutch fluid/slave

29K seems really early for a clutch. A much more common problem is with boiling clutch fluid/slave cylinder failure/master cylinder failure (I know that I have had all 3 fail at the track).

I also know each time I brought my car into the dealer they tried to sell me a new clutch. I had to insist that I knew my clutch was fine. I can only imagine how many clutches Nissan/Infiniti have sold after misdiagnosing burnt up clutch fluid.

Can you stall your car starting in 3rd gear? That's a fairly accepted test of a clutch.
