I was at a stop light and pulled off at the light kind of quick, but nothing crazy, and when I shifted to 2nd it felt like I had missed the gear but the rpm stayed high with no power, I shifted into 3rd and it felt like there was a pause then it came into gear, Then i was driving down the road and started up a hill and went into 2nd and it felt the same way high rpms but no power, whats wrong?
The car is supposed to have a new tranny and clutch. Could it be my fluid is low or something like that? Or its that I cant drive? please tell me its that... 02.gif
MOD EDIT - spelling fixed, fixed the excessive use of the ellipsis (...blah...blah) (Much easier to read now)

Ok now clarify the problem.
By no power do you mean that while holding the throttle down the engine barely accelerates the engine in the upper RPMs? or are you saying your clutch is slipping, which would be you put it in gear and give it gas and the engine accelerates without accelerating the car?

The 2nd one,but it only happens in 2nd gear and I drove it all around town today, and got on it once or twice to see if it was only doing it when I was accelerating quickly,but nothing. I thought if your cluth is slipping it would do it in every gear, and I hear 2nd gear is weird on our cars, whats up with that? I have lost a few races at the track because of the little problem, pull off fine but when I hit 2nd I hit about 6K rpms with no response for a second then shift to 3rd and bark, I dunno, maybe some new gear oil? This thing is supposed to have a new clutch and tranny, but it sounds like I got F***ed!
Oh yeah and thanks for the edit...

OK, most likely your clutch is fuxored.
Get on the highway, put it in 5th at 3grand or so @ cruise. Then Stomp on the gas pedal. if it slipps your ass got no gripps. you need a clutch.
