But what your describing doesn't really sound like a slipping clutch to me. A slipping clutch will be more noticable in the higher gears -it gets worse with each higher gear, you'll see your RPM's going up w/o a matching increase in speed. What you were seeing sounds more like a fueling glitch. Reflash it again and see what happens.
Even after I unmarried the Accessport, my car felt like it was bogging big time in 2nd. I didn't know if it was the clutch or if the ECU wasn't running optimally yet. I just got back from driving about 100 kms and it feels really responsive now with just the stock ECU so my clutch worries are over. Thanks for the info about the slipping clutch. I'll know what to look for in the future!
