When I stomp on the gas, Their isn’t much power????? I have a 99 T/A m6. I have had my car for a little over a year, when i first got it, i would stomp the gas and i could feel the power, but now when i get on it, it just doesnt seem to have that power any more, it sounds like im going fast from the motor, but i barly accerlerate like i did when i fist got the car......

yeah, could be the cluth. OR the most common problem, people just get used to the power and the way their car runs and it just seems like its less to you. im that way with alot of things, i used to have a big stereo system and after a while it just seemed that it wasnt as loud. it was just me getting used to it. i was the same way about the power in my car. hope nothing's wrong with your car.

I am starting to think its my clutch now, after talking to some one at work, they said if my rpm's are rasising fast then it might be the clutch. Is this true? Also my clutch pedel feels like mushe or some thing.

when changing clutch, i believe you'll need to re-surface the flywheel. Also I heard you might have to shim the bell housing now that you just re-surface the flywheel, and bleed the clutch.

Either way you should upgrade to the 2002 hydraulics (master / slave). Both clutches should be chatter free, hold a good deal of power, and have stock like street manners and durability since theyre factory clutches.
What would have to do to ungrade to the new mast/slave?

Do i need to do that drill mod thing too?

or it may be your optispark and or distributor cap, i had the same type of problem with my car, sounds like its going fast, but its not going anywhere, if its your optispark.. well.... that sucks.. they are kinda pricey
