istter1 Throttle Position Sensor & clutch slip in third gear

Code 22 came up and found out it was suddenly bad. (1 year old). After fixing the code 33 a few mounts ago suddenly a Autozone sensor goes out.

I replace it with a new one and the 383 stroker has more power then ever. Code 22 cleared and engine idling correctly.
I am in the country so I want to see if acceleration is any better. 1st and second like gang busters. I go to third but I don't punch it in third about 70 I punch it and it sounds like the clutch slips until I let off gas.
I repeat the same thing. Similar results. One more time but in third I smoothly press the pedal of the tko 600 and no slippage.
Any thoughts.

that's interesting, but I am wondering if you smoked it in a lower gear...

There's nothing special about 3rd gear vs any other gear as far as the clutch goes. Other than the tires are more likely to spin before the clutch in lower gears. Although you would have noticed that.

6 speed? I guess the currently available pressure plates are pretty weak. I have an oem zr1 unit in mine and have never had slip at the strip or otherwise although I dont have any power adders either.
