14k, and I'm familar with how to identify clutch. I think if it IS slipping, it's very early in the process or just barely glazing. I get a floating/wheel slip feeling when I get on it even after the traction control light settles down.

I run 315 wide tires and I assumed that feeling might be some clutch slip instead of tire spin, but I don't stay on it long enough to discover if the tach revs up and drops because by that time I'm already 80mph + and the floating feeling is enough to make me want to back off fast.
