a couple days ago as i was driving home from san diego, i was driving down pch when all of a sudden, my engine starts jerking and i notice that my rpm meter/bar thing is twitching like a retard. my bro and i suspect that my clutch needs to be replaced but if we're wrong, please let me know. HELP!!!!!

 

Usually when the clutch slips the RPM rises and you don't have a "jerkin" of the engine. If the tach needle is bouncing around you probably have a coil/ignition problem.
