Assuming the dry clutch is stock, use a ruler to measure from the face of
the pressure
plate to the inside edge of the spring plate, spec is 1-1/32 inch, give or
take a bit,
you can take the three nuts in tighter in half turn increments until it
stops slipping,
hopefully you'll find a happy place between slipping and dragging.
If you don't, take it all apart and clean the plates.
