Your friends clutch is wearing out. Over time with normal wear they don't drab as well.

Nor do they 'grab' as well, either.

Just because it doesn't slip in 6th doesn't mean it's not worn. It will probably last a while like it is, just won't have the bite..

That will show an extremely worn clutch. His clutch may grab and hold just fine under normal driving, but just now showing signs of wear, where under hard hard throttle shift it can't handle it.
