I got a king cobra clutch installed on my stang (89 GT)
On the Street it is great. Off the line it's Magic
But when i go for long drives on the highway and then drive on the street the clutch feels like is is sliping. It feels like an old worn out clutch. But when i turn the car off and let it cool down for about 20-30 minutes the clutch feels good again. what the hell is the problem.
-Could it be that I need a new Clutch Quadrent.
-One friend suggested it could be the trow out bearing but a new one was installed when with lutch as well and pressure plate.
Please help

My guess would be that your clutch is getting contaminated somehow. I've seen cars where when they were driven for a while coolant would leak onto the clutch and cause a slipping situation. Did you happen to notice any wierd residue on the clutch when you removed it?

When the old clutch was removed it did not have any contamination just regular wear
