I don't recommend clutch stops as sometimes you may not be disengaging the clutch enough. I would remove it for further diagnosing.

By no accident, removing a tune would cause the clutch not to slip as you just took out a large amount of mid-range torque.

Many times the clutch won't slip with stock power, but will with tuned power. The best test is 4th gear, Wide open throttle at 3000 RPM, the rev's will rise quicker then normal. If this happens get out of the throttle as slipping the clutch on purpose will cause exponential wear and problems at fast rate.

With your mileage, I'm not surprised if you have clutch slip but that all depends on your driving habits and conditions.

ACT Clutches
Spec Clutches and clutch masters are some of the more popular options.

Let me know if you need any help choosing a clutch.

Aftermarket lightened flywheels tend to produce more chatter and make drivability a little more difficult. I dont recommend them unless you know the characteristics they change in the vehicles drivability.
