High gear clutch slippage

X2 , when I was racing the firebird last year the same thing happened to me. Not enough counter weight, or not enough base pressure.

For example if you have a 3.25 first gear ratio and a 1.94 second gear and you dump the clutch in first gear the clutch is almost out of the equation as far as load or slippage. If you dump the clutch in second gear you will slip the clutch because its seeing more load. At least that's my view on it.
