05 ctsv acting weird I have a 2005 ctsv. Recently i noticed coming home from work that if at a low rpm (under 3k) and i give it gas the rpms will shoot up but there will be no acceleration. Almost like the clutch is still slightly engaged. Anyone experienced this before? Anyone else experience this? Any help appreciated thank you

Slipping clutch, stuck slave cyl. Is the pedal coming all the way back up when this happens? What happens if you pump the clutch rapidly? Miles on the car/clutch/master/slave? When was the last time you bled the thing and/or changes the fluid? Clutch is one of the real headaches on this platform.

get on the highway and at speed put it in 5th or 6th and get on it a good bit, that's how I have always judged if a clutch is slipping. 6th is a pretty steep gear in this car though and with its know issues I would use 5th. But in your case sounds like it's time to replace the clutch and slave.
