Default Z RPM's lag when giving gas...

hey guys last week my Z started lagging on rpms.. for example im driving in second gear and if i press on the gas it will shoot up on the rpms then drop back to normal, the more gas i give the higher it shooots up then back down, its like this the whole time i drive if i give good amount of gas it just shoots up then lags and drives normal...on any gear.. no check engine or any lights are on... anyone any idea?

depends what you buy or where you bring it, but you can get it done for less than 1k parts and labor if you shop around, imo

call some places and get some quotes. grab the parts from a vendor on the classifieds.

You can snag aftermarket clutches for less than OEM costs. Look through the marketplace.
