Default need help diagnosing problem....

today when i put my cruie control on, i had it in 6th at about 2k. every now and then it would rev up to 3k and then go back down to 2k. so i turned cruise off and manually drove the rest of the way. when i got off the highway and would start driving in first gear, it would be like i was reving the car up and id need more pedal effort. lastly, id be able to take my foot completely off the clutch and the car wouldnt stall??im assuming my clutch is slipping???i have a spec 3 w/the stock flywheel.i have the stock hydraulics as well. can some1 please help me out here cause this is a real pita...tia

By taking your foot off the peddle and the car not stalling I'm assuming you mean it didn't move or just barely creeped forward. Sounds like a bad pressure plate/friction disc on the clutch. If your clutch peddle is firm it I'd say you should start clutch shopping/warranty bitching.

Yep. Sounds like a bad friction disc/pressure plate.
