Help me diagnose the problem... Ok heres the deal...this problem has been getting progressively bad over the last month or so...
Basically what happens is that my car is overreving whenever I mash the gas. At first it would only do it on 6th and 5th, and only when going at slow speeds (60 or so). Now its gotten to the point where it will do it in ANY gear at ALMOST anyspeed (for example, today I raced a cobra a few times and every single time, the car reved up correctly, but since then it will over rev whenever I give it gas).
Basically this is what happens: everything is fine when im not agressive at all with the gas. When I smash the gas the car will rev up high for a second or two (not really pulling my car) then finally settle into the gear and pull normal.
Im thinking my clutch is done, it just seems like its not grabbing the gears anymore. Its a centerforce and it has about 12K miles on it now.

The only prob with that MCLoed is that its DAMN expensive 
Not that I like going cheap on parts, just that at the present moment, the Spec is about the only thing I can afford, and I do need it NOW...my car is my every other day driver (me and my dad trade off my old 93 Accord during the week), so I cant be without the clutch for too long...
If it can hold up without freakin up my Tranny for a few months, I should be good as far as money goes to get a McLeod or whatever!
