I recently installed a stage 3 clutch and pressure plate with 15 pound flywheel and have had a problem with slipping at around 3,700 rpm. Instructions said to allow 750 miles for break in, I think I have around 300-400 miles the clutch. The damn speedo cable must have gotten kinked or something when I swapped engines so I have no way of telling how fast or far I am going. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you properly adjust the clutch pedal? It might not be letting the clutch engage all the way. You should have a small amount of "dead" travel at the top.

The pedal was not adjusted, it felt fine on the first drive. I expected a stiff pedal feel, which it has, but it does have an amount of "dead" travel after the clutch engages.

Also, the slipping happens faster if i push the go pedal down more. If I lightly press the pedal and gradually increase throttle I can get rpm's up to around 5,200 5,500 before it starts t oslip. The car clunks/ shakes also if I try to floor it. I'm about to change the 6 puck to an organic clutch so I can can actually go without the worry of a broken car unless I know this will change once it's broken in.

Is this hydraulic or cable?

Did you put the clutch in correctly? If you flipped the disc, it'll bind.
To note, the Exedy 6-puck is junk. ACT or nothin. Unless you want a twin disc. Then the Exedy is good stuff.

The clutch was installed the right way.
