Default Clutch problem NEED TO FIX

Ok my car is on the verdge of being undrivable the clutch is so bad. When in a low gear, 1 or 2 and i give it any more than about 10% throttle the clutch slips and then grabs again, making the car jerk violently back and forth. It has a pretty new edexy stage 1 in it, but the flywheel was not resurfaced when it was installed on this 200k mile old car...So thats kinda what i suspect.

Tonight it was worse than ever...It SEEMS to be worse when its damp outside, or raining. But tonight i almost got t-boned cuz i couldnt make it though the intersection because of the slipping, i must have looked pretty gay jerkin across the intersection.

Can anyone tell me what to look for...I think it may be an adjustment problem too...But in all the other gears i can floor it and it doest slip at all..the catch point does seem a little high though...

Anyone know where there is a how-to on adjusting your clutch, i dont have my chiltons with me

Thanks

On our cable clutches, there is a knob for adjustment on the clutch cable by the clutch housing. Turn a click or two at a time to dial in your clutch engagement point. Good luck.

Messed with it this morning, adjusting it isnt helping, well it made it a little better when i made it grab about an inch off the floor, with that setup it would slip about 3/5 times, instead of EVERY time...

Any ideas on what the crap is wrong with it?
