I have a problem with my acceleration that I have not figured out yet. For example, when I am in 5th gear cruising at 50mph-ish and I floor the pedal, the rpms will shoot up for a few seconds, and then come down and start going up. This happens in all the gears when I floor it. When the rpms are 2750+ this problem doesn’t really happen. I’ve had the intake checked out, that is fine. I bought some fuel injector cleaner so I’ll see how that is. I’m hoping its not my clutch. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Probably your clutch.

When does a clutch usually go bad? The car has 66k miles. I remember my v6 camaro's clutch lasted untill about 90k.

Its all in how you drive your car, I believe its your clutch as well.

Do I have to replace all the pieces or do I just have to replace the clutch disc?

Clutch disc, and throw out bearing will probably get you by (unless the disc is scored).

Thanks for the reply. Whats the max amount of horsepower a stock clutch can handle?

Depending on your mileage I would consider a slave as well- because if it leaks it could take out your new clutch. my .02

I think a stock clutch can hold 350hp( at the motor ), do a search to find out more questions you might have, there is plenty of great clutch info here on tech.
