dont know that ive trouched it, but i assume because the engines oil is all around the clutch basket (wet clutch) that it would still be pretty hot oil, which would make the case toasty too.

hmmm i see you have 40% springs already...maybe try 60%? my 60's really arnt THAT hard to pull... and it cleared up my slippage issues.
didnt you just go to stage III? that might be a SMALL reason to cause the clutch to slip...(lol)
