Clutch Slipping

Took the truck out for a drive around after getting the cab swapped and the interior back in. First through fourth gear the clutch holds fine but if I roll on the throttle in fifth gear from 1500rpm it spikes up to 2000rpm right away and holds from there. When the truck was tipped on its side about 5 litres of oil came out the passenger side crank case vent. I'm thinking its possible that it could have dripped down the bellhousing and somehow soaked the disk. The truck only has 150,000km on it. What is a good replacement clutch that will hold more power than stock? Current mods; Edge evolution 100hp, 5" exhaust, cold air intake. The truck has 3.73's with 37" tires on it also so that could be putting more strain on the clutch.

Thanks in advance

i bet there's oil down there, mine did the same when i had a loose fuel filter lid. eventually it'll get back to normal, i drove my truck hard for a few days and all is ok now.

Good to know, maybe I will pop off the inspection cover and spray a little brake clean in there with it running and clutch dissengaged to speed up the process.

maybe some simple green, you don't want to harm your clutch with those chemicals
