Is my clutch going?

[sytrus]

Alright, this is the whole run down.

If i am at a complete stop, I shift into first, if i want to punch the gas, i accelerate hard, and everything feels normal.

But, if i am driving and say, someone is turning left, and I downshift to pass them on the right, after i press the gas the car literally jumps it feels like it's bumpy almost. As if the motor can't push anymore power out then what it is at, at this point. Then after i shift, it will do it through every gear... until i stop again. Any ideas?

A little more sense would be in order.

Are you saying that the slipping only occurs when turning a certain direction? That doesnt really sound like clutch. Mine did that too, and it turns out that my front CV shaft was bad. I would check them out.
Also, when the slipping occurs, do just your REVS jump up? or do your revs AND your speedometer jump up? If its just the revs jumping up, that's probably clutch, but if your indicated speed goes up with the revs, that's something else.

sorry i was a little drunk last night. Alright, no, I am saying.. that it only happens when i downshift.

If I try to pass someone, for example, I will downshift from 4th to 3rd and hit the gas. But, the power isnt there. It will get full boost but getting there the acceleration feels jumpy. You actually feel SOMETHING, its so hard to describe and i'm sorry but, that is what it feels like.

So after i downshift.. as I accelerate it literally jumps. it will rev up, feel a little jump and it will jolt forward every few seconds until i shift again.

SORRY , that is the only way i can describe it. And my speedometer doesnt jump, and my revs don't jump. The motor only has 400 miles on it, so that is strong, but I had to spend 900 dollars on the basic stuff to get it running right, i.e. alternator, fuel pump, injectors, etc.. The body of the car has like 123k on it, so all those parts did as well. So that is why I am thinking it is something involved with the transmission because otherwise from a dead stop its raw power, and accelerates fine. So it is defintely something that grabs. dunno. let me know.

okay shift from second to third at 3k rpm then go WOT in 3rd till 5k rpm so the turbo spools. if the rpms jump or it feels jumpy(kinda like wheelhop. i dunno how to put it) then your clutch is slipping. if it is slipping replace it ASAP

see that's the feeling i get... but it is only after i downshift. If i was just driving in 2nd, and went WOT then went to third it WILL not do it. Only after i downshift. But yes that is the feeling!
