Slipping clutch

Done about 25k miles (modded to circa 250bhp) and the clutch has started slipping in 5th/6th from 3000rpm for a few seconds when giving it some pasty. When the wheels catch up with the engine everything is fine again. No problems selecting or changing gear so I suspect it is a case of the clutch not man enough for the job, rather than worn out.

Any comments welcome. Reccommendations for an after-market clutch appreciated.

I cannot speak from experience but there are three S3 owners who have fitted the MTM Clutch from Kim collins (after their clutches needed replacing, rather than go the OEM route)
