i dunno but i cant seem to get smooth shifts from the 1-2 shift, i dunno if my clutch is slippin and it needs adjustment, or my tires are just spining,
clutch is a 6puck with 10k miles, tires are zexius 205/50- 16's
took it to the track and ran a 14.719, with this, im pretty sure if i got smooth shifts and not this slippin feelin i could have ran a better time.
what do yall think?

your clutch is worn down, it's fine for normal use, your just not gonna get the nice crips shifts no more. nothings wrong with the tires, if u want to have a faster "stiffer" shift get a new/upgraded clutch.

I dont agree with the reply above...If you have a clutch that bites..but your tires arent up to the task...youll get wheel spin. I kind of highly doubt youve worn down a 6 puck clutch that easily especially with just 10k miles. Try stickier tires

Agreed, the clutch is more than likely grabing like heck and you're not getting any traction..
