hey. pretty damned sure the clutch is shot but figured id ask for a second opinion. put it into say first gear and when i go to hit the gas the car revs up like if it was in neutral. like taping the gas puts it up to 4000 rpm or higher. if i gently apply pressure around the 5-6k mark the car barely rolls forward. obviously not driving it atm. the last week it was doing something similar BUT not nearly as bad.
about a week ago when i noticed it acting funny i asked a freind and he told me to test if the clutch was going by starting it up and putting it in first gear and just letting go of the clutch hard, the car didnt even studder, it just rolled forward, freind said that means it was on the way out because if it was working properly it would catch and stall out.
