If the clutch was bad the RPMs would go up, as the power is being made but its not being transferred to the wheels.

Its just that your car is slow.

stop spinning your tires wink1.gif

Once I was driving slowly, I pushed the clutch reved to 5K and then dropped the clutch, it did slipped much, RPM gows up and car had no acceleration. But since then I put on more than 20K miles (131K miles now) and it's on a stock clutch.

sounds like it.

I heard somewhere not sure if it is true or not but if you are at a stand still with the car in 2nd gear and you rev the car up and drop the clutch it will either catch or slip really badly, if it is slipping then the clutch is going.
