Explain it better. What do you mean by "could like bog"? Is your clutch slipping?

i dont know how to describe it lol. but if it was slipping y would it only do it in 4th and 5th?? and not thru all the gears? it feels like hesetation between spool and when the boost hits the intake. doesnt feel like lag i know what that feels like. fells like losing traction.

Because the highest load is in 4th and 5th, and load is what overpowers the clutch making it slip. A slipping clutch will first show itself at peak torque in the highest gears, so if it's doing it right when you boost in those gears, pausing, then accelerating after that pause, then it's probably the clutch slipping. Go test it in top gear by flooring it from 2500rpm, and watch to see if the rpms jump up a little during the "bog."

Your description sounds exactly like a slipping clutch.
