Default rpms, need advice.
Hey guys, I have a 05 z. Today I noticed that when I shift my rpms go up, then drop. I know that's normal. But there feels like there's a power loss. I'm trying to explain it the best I can without sounding stupid. Also when I give it gas the rpms go up by a little but then drop back down fast. Let me know if y'all know what's going on or have an idea.

your clutch is slipping, get ready to replace it.

What's the mileage? Most likely what Trav stated.

Mileage smileage. Find a steep grade, go up it in 4th or 5th gear and if the revs rise but the speed doesn't, THEN you probably need a clutch. I have 145,000 on my original clutch in my '03. I know folks that are on their 3rd with that many miles, or less.

Are we talking about a standard or automatic?
