Yeah 3, 6, 121 puck doesnt mean anything. If that shit grabs up by your nipples while your driving it then it is spent… if it grabs down low, it has some life left. Maybe you got a oil leak or some shit on it. who knows.

this is not always true, what i was getting at is that if the clutch if grabbing way up high it could actually have life left and just not be fully engaging the clutch, leading it to slip

but my peddle doesnt have a stopper so technically as long as im off the peddle it shouldnt be keeping it from enguaging. Maybe ill try not pushing the pedal in as much and as long as there are no grinds, that might be it.

if you are pushing the pedal too far you could damage the diagphram on the clutch. if thats the case you need to build a pedal stop. but if youre in gear and rolling into it and its slipping, you arent getting enough clamping force, or the disk is shot.
