Default Clutch issue - i know it aint crankwalk

Alright, when I launch my car it slips at 1st gear. The only time I get a smooth shift is when I go real slow. All the other gears seem fine even when I punch it. Is this my clutch falling to pieces or what?

I kno it aint crankwalk coz I'm not showing any of the symptoms like sticking clutch after a left turn.

Thx all.

what do you mean when you say you launch it. Just starting from a stop and flooring it, or actually reving the car to like 3 grand then dropping the clutch. If its starting from a stop and flooring then try doing a slow roll, say like 10mph, then floor it in first and see if it still slips. if it does then it is the clutch going bad. Also another test is to from a stop slowely let off the clutch with no gas, try and do it just to get the car to roll and see if you can go without giving it gas. If you cant without it stalling than thats another sign of a bad clutch and its time for an upgrade
