Is my clutch slipping?

Today while driving no matter what gear...the rpms raise to about 6k+ before the mph starts to go....is that a bad sign of a clutch going? Sorry if so its my first just needing to know

Sounds like it. 6k seems a bit much for a clutch that just started to slip, and it shouldn't happen in every gear - mainly high gear.

Yeah, pretty much. That's how mine is right now, so I have to drive to and from work out of boost until the shop has time to install my new Exedy.
