Recently, I have been having a problem with slippage. To describe it, I will give an example. EXAMPLE: When on the highway, I need to speed up and pass someone. The RPM's go up but the car does not speed up, after a few seconds, the RPM's then go back down and then the car starts to get going. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Time for a new clutch. Definitely symptoms of a slipping clutch are what you described.

FWIW I recommend the RAM HD OEM replacement if you're going with a new one.

The above diagnosis was for a manual trans car. If yours is a manual trans and someone is installing another trans to solve the problem something is wrong. Manual transmissions do not slip.
