    There is a long thead on this subject. I actually talks about a manual but same principal applies to F1. Basically, if the clutch is fine down low but slipping at high RPM, your clutch is gone. You need to go get a new clutch.

    You feel it slip just as in a manual. Keep in mind, when it goes it's gone. When you get to 100% wear, it will just shut down. I got stuck twice in very bad spots with no option but to push the car. Best to get it checked out before you have a problem.

    It could just need a puter adjustment. 430's are pretty good on the clutches but L/C 8 times would probably wear it down pretty good. The only way to know for sure is have it put on an SD3 to gauge wear.

    If you're F1 pump is bad it'll cause the clutch to slip as well.

    From the experience with my car the amount of slippage was pretty consistent up until complete failure. Best to get it checked to see how much remains.
