Default need help

i was driving my car and while i was in 2nd my car felt like it lost power, started to slow down and rpms started to go down little by little. i shifted to 3rd rpms whent up but started to decrease also. so shifted to 4th and rpms whent up little by little, i also had the gas peddal all the way down. can anyone tell me what this is? im thinking its something to do with the clutch or tranny. after that i stopped driving my car. need to know what is going on first, and how to fix. oh its a 00 ws6 manual. thanks

So what i'm gathering is..

You shifted from 2nd to 3rd while slowing down with the pedal all the way down and gained RPM?

Rethink your problem and explain with better detail..

"i was driving my car and while i was in 2nd my car felt like it lost power"

Could be a broken valvespring, failed O2, fouled spark plugs, dead battery, failed alternator... Needs more detail..


Are you throwing any codes? Did you notice any strange smells or sounds? Did you check your oil? Did you even look at your gauge cluster?

I think your car needs a visit to the dealership or a mechanic.

You seem to have lots of issues going on with the car.
