Almost like my clutch is stuck in...

[ConcepTrs913]

Well just like stated above it seems that in like 3rd, 4th, and 5th (only noticeable) when I accelerate pretty hard the revs go up (almost like the clutch is in) then go down slow and then go up like normal...

What is the problem guys?

so the rpm increases quickly but the speed doesn't in upper gears ... sounds like a slipping clutch to me

You're going to have to rephrase your question.. I've read it three times, and I still don't understand.

Are you saying that when you attempt to accelerate, your REVS go up, but your speed does not (most noticeable in 3rd, 4th, and 5th) but then another time it will seem to grab and not slip, allowing you to increase your speed as you normally would?

Slipping clutch, then?

Test it this way:

10mph
5th gear
floor it.
watch revs. do they raise as if you were accelerating, or struggle and stay at the same area (+- 100rpm)

if they raise, your clutch is slipping.

thank you... ill try that.

Yes I just phrased the question incorrectly, but you pretty much summed it up. Looks like time for a new clutch probably then...
