revving issue when i go WOT or accelerate quickly in my t/a it will rev up faster than my acceleration, i still have good acceleration but my RPM will rev up almost to the red line, is my tranny slipping or my clutch going out?

An M6, as Flacon said, won't have tranny slip. When you have a problem in a gear, you'll know. You'll know from it either not going into gear, being stuck in gear, or a loud noise lol

well he said "my clutch". generally when you talk about the clutches in an auto you would say "the clutches". thats what made me confused
