acceleration issue

okay so i drove my t/a to work today and when i would go WOT the rpms would shoot up and the car would go but the car wouldnt jump like it should. It seemed the rpms would shoot up way faster then normal. Anyone know what the problem might be?

Unless you have a leak in the system, it's probably the clutch. Check the fluid to be sure that it isn't dirty looking and filled appropriately.

How many miles on the current clutch?
