What's up fellas, on my 98 eclipse RS I'm havig a bit of an issue. It's a 5 speed standard, and let's say for example I'm cruising at 40mph in 3rd gear, if I accelerate the rpms will shoot up about 1000-1500 rpms then go back to wear they were before I accelerated , and then slowly start climbing as I gain speed. I'm not an expert with these cars by any means, so any advice would be extremely helpful.
 
It sounds like your clutch is slipping. It's probably time for a new one...
 
Probably. The car has 270k miles on it. Oh also what is a good clutch set up to get ? I've looked at eBay ones. I want somethin better than stock, but I ain't gonna buy a stage 4 racing clutch with a puny 200hp. (If that )

Clutch is slipping. Look at F1 clutches off ebay. Stage 2 or 3 would be fine, I would recommend a stage 2.

Have put those clutches ina 350Z and Mazdaspeed Protege and they are great clutches
