Clutch problem

So I've never personally had a clutch start to slip on me before but I'm guessing my clutch is slipping.

Here's, the situation, I can't really notice it in 1st or 2nd, but I I do notice it in 3rd-5th. When the RPMs reach about 3000-3500, the RPM shoots up to about 4000 and boost builds up, then it feels like the clutch starts to grab and the car starts to pull again. Also, at about the same time that this started to happen, my clutch pedal started to feel loose.

Again, I'm pretty sure its slipping but it never hurts to have a second opinion.

Thanks.

Thanks thisxguy. Does anyone have any preference between the ACT street or an Exedy? The car is mainly a DD with a couple weekends at the AutoX.

I think if you got the ACT HDSS, you will like it. It's a street disk. It's great for a DD, that's what I currently have.

I was kinda leaning towards the ACT HDSS. How much powering are you making?

Right now my car is basically stock but eventually I want to end up between 350-400 HP.

Would this clutch be good enough for me in the long run?
