Default What does it feel like when ur clutch is slipping

help please!!! I think mines is slipping when I push it over 4k rpm. I just had the tranny replaced 2 months ago ( ia had one of the grinders). Can someone describe what a slipping clutch feels like.

Thanks

Drive in fifth gear down the road, if you give it gas and the RPM's move up with no reaction from the car you need a new clutch. Power is not completely transfered to the wheels.

Thanks Mr P.

But I have noticed it when in 4th and pushing it hard. It will (around 4-5rpms) hesitate for a split second. The rpms will jump all over the place. I will try the 5th gear trick.

Can you explain what is actually happening? Also, given that they put in a new clucth less than 2 months ago (when they replaced the bad tranny) and I know how to drive a stick what would lead to the clutch going bad so quickly?

Thanks

I am sure 4th gear will work just as well to test. Improper installation I would assume is the cause.
