have you checked slave and master cylinder? although normally it'd be the clutch plate when it slips, but the master or slave could be over extended, meaning that they wont fully engage the clutch

Does Corsair uses a Hydraulic clutch? My Bluey uses one and when my half clutch biting point gets pretty high up, the clutch is pretty worn off. Not sure if this is applicable in your case.
