RPM's skipping or going too fast between gears?
 
So, driving my 04 350z roadster touring last night, I decided to press on the gas in 6th gear and noticed that instead of it taking a little to get to 65 mph, my rpms went from like 2k to like 6k really fast, then after I smelt that burning smell you smell when you first learn how to drive stick haha. Seems like my fly wheel or clutch is doing some weird things. Suggestions? I am taking it to Nissan tomorrow morning. What is odd is that I changed the belts about a month ago and changed the oil, spark plugs, etc... so :suicide: HELP wtfff.. :dunno:

That's your clutch slipping, no questions. Time to start looking for a replacement.

There are plenty of
How to check a slipping clutch
threads here. Read and learn.

i assume he didn't know to search "slipping clutch" because he doesn't know what a slipping clutch is, seeing as how he cited "recently changed belts and oil" for reasons why his car should be alright...
