clutch slipping? so i'm heading home from work this morning, and being Easter Sunday (i.e., NO one else on the roads at ALL), i decide to give it a little romp up to 120. i let off at 120 in 4th gear, and let the car just coast back down to 70, then shift up into 5th.
then about 10 - 15 seconds later, my car kinda bucks a bit, like i held in the clutch for about a second then let off of it again, without rev matching to smooth it out....only i didn't....it was in 5th the entire time.
is this indication that my clutch is starting to let go? it didn't seem to slip at all from the 10mph roll i started at, all the way to 120, and didn't seem to slip when coasting back down to 70 from 120, either.
what could cause that? mis-fire, maybe?

If it where a clutch problem the RPMs would go high due to slippage.
That sounds more like a running issue to me. Your gonna need to investigate that & see what your issue is.
