Default M6 problem/question, all advice appreciated

94 Z28 M6; it shifts just fine when driving regularly, no grinding, no noises, no problems. Twice I've experienced a strange problem when applying anywhere from 1/2-to-3/4 throttle (once in 3rd, once in 4th) where it seems that there is a drop-off in power to the transmission; in other words, the engine is revving, but there is no forward movement proportionate to the revs. Any information is appreciated.

Thx...

Sounds like a clutch slipping, I don't know of any way for a manual tranny to slip.

That's what mine was doing prior to the new clutch. Other one was fried. I'd hit the power (moderately or hard) and get major slippage then a hookup. If I really hit it hard then therewas smoke as well... Clutch gets my vote too.

Sounds like a new clutch is in order.

I just installed a Spec Stage Three plus in a Cobra and for the first time in years I would recomend them
