Default Reving/accelerating problems?

Today when i was driving home i noticed something wrong. I was in 2nd gear and trtied to accelerate and my needle reved up to 4k rpm pretty quick, then it drops about 500 rpm. I tried it again and it did it again, even in 3rd gear it did it also.

I'm thinking my clutch is slipping, but can anyone confirm this? And if so what clutch/flywheel should i get next?

Thanks

You mean that the revs go up but the car does not go?
Yes that is your clutch.

you could get a clutchmasters oem replacement clutch, or go with a stage I

i have the stage one and its basically stock feel....maybe a little harder but nothing bad for daily driving......

search on google for the clutchmasters site...i cant remember it

OEM is Your best bet. No need for an upgraded clutch kit unless you can get it for less than the cost of an OEM clutch kit.

If you want to upgrade the act streetlite flywheel will be ok for daliy driving. The OEM will be cheaper and work fine though if you are just looking to get back on the road.
