Question about clutch

[Ghostrider 310]

When you are approaching hills take note of whether the clutch slips on a steep grade, if it does than it is going to need replacement soon.

Thanks for replies,
Clutch is not slipping, I tested it many times.

That's what bothers me, clutch seems to be good, yet has this weird problem.

Thanks

How bout the engine mounts? If they are really bad the shifting of the engine will make that kind of problem.

I looked up the term "clutch judder" and it seems that in my case problem was either condensation or glazing.
I burned the clutch as bit and it feels great again
I also cleaned my throttle body (again) and it was dirty as hell..
I cleaned it a less the 6 month ago when I installed technotorque and now it's dirty again..

What would cause throttle body to get dirty so fast?
I have new air filter, that should do the trick right?

Thanks
Sasha

PS: GhostRider, I don't think it's engine mount related, I replaced my engine mount 1 year ago

When you did it 6 months ago...is that when you put in the new filter?...and it got dirty again? Very strange. When you say dirty was is black oily stuff or hard carbon like? When I got my car little over a year ago (53k miles) I cleaned mine and it was spotless, previous owner never did it, it was a fun project anyway but not needed. What type of filter are you using, is it one that is oiled?

Whip:
It was carbon type black sludge that I had to scrub of the throttle body.
I had K&N oil filter before, 6 month ago I changed to OEM paper filter.

It's weird, the only thing that comes in mind.. I de-snorkeled the car at the same time when I changed filter.. maybe it has something to do with it..

violametallic: I don't think I have lightweight flywheel, I have no history of the car before I got it.. but I discovered that previous owner didn't know what car maintenance means

Anyway, this story has a happy ending, something did it.. either burning the clutch a bit or cleaning throttle body.. my clutch feels brand new now!

Thank you all!
