I think my clutch is on the way out. Probably well over 150k on it but im not sure since I've only had the car a couple of months. But I am noticing a loss in power to my wheels. When I shift up or down as I give it gas it loses rpm then jump up back to driving speed Its really iritating. Do you guys think its the clutch or something else? In another clutch thread hamhead said watch for a jump but im not sure if thats what they ment.
Should I go stage 2 or stock? Remember I am new to stick so I need the best durability!!

Bump since i just split it.
im not sure what you mean, are you saying when your foot is holding the clutch down the rpm's drop and then when you release the clutch the rpm's jump back up?

yah do the 5th gear thing, mine wasnt slipping to the point where that happened to me.
I just had to much power for the damn clutch and it wouldnt grab 1st very well when i was launching.
