    I read through the other clutch threads and didnt want to hijack them.

    I have 60k on my car now.

    Last winter at about 50k i was getting some clutch slippage in 5th and 6th it happened when it was any where below 45-50f. It has sinced warmed up and i haven had an issue.

    The questions is, what could cause a temperature depended clutch slip?

    The only thing i can think of is when it was at the body shop last winter someone glazed the disc over causing the slipping.

    Once the temperature gets down a bit more ill see if it still slips but i would like to fix it before winter to avoid replacing it in the cold.

    Any input would be appreciated because i am stumped.
