When my clutch went out. I would change gears and the rpms would go up 1k-2k and than drop down to where they shoudl be. Does yours do that? I can't really tell form the video its kind of short.

your clutch is done...
those are common symptoms of a slipping clutch... i managed to baby my clutch for 1-2 months of 3k shifts and mainting speeds of under 3k rpm....towards the end i abused it...and it still had bite...never totally died on me... its weird how it happens too...you step on the gas ...it pauses....and the car lurches forward and picks up where it should have been.
You should stop testing your car out to see if there is something wrong with the engine...or a bolt on mod that could be causing it ....it's your clutch...baby it for as long as it takes you to get another "real clutch" in there....i opted for the exedy twin disc...clutch pedal feels like stock...grips like a lesbian with a *****....chatters a little ...nothing major
