Yes Christmas Day, merry Christmas to me I think my clutch went out. I was on my way to my grandmas and I noticed on the highway that I would press the gas and my rpms shoot up and I barley move. My pedal is hard at the top and it's difficult to start the car from a dead stop. It still moves but had horrible acceleration. Is this a bad clutch?
 
^^ I agree slipping and probably down to the rivets. Do you know How many miles are on it. Check out southbend or act or there's always exedy. Pretty much all 3 have shown to be great setups. I prefer sbc ;) just depends what your looking for.
 
Check fluids, slave, master. It sounds like a bad clutch, if the car feels like its driving normal after a cold start then the clutch is worn & needs replacing. I had this problem going down the highway, turned the heat on blast & it helped a bit.
