stock clutch with 13K on it. I can get the car from a dead stop to move up to speed moderately(with a little coaxing) easy from third. In fourth it dies. Is my clutch going to the shadow rhelm???

Possibly. Does it smell like something is burning under your car?

A bad clutch is not gonna make your car die.

The best way to see if your clutch is going is to get in a higher gear, 3rd or 4th, and roll into it kinda hard. If your rpms jump up you know your clutch is starting to let loose. You will be able to feel it slipping. Ive never heard of a bad clutch making the car die out.
