i think its the clutch when i rev the car up to 2000 to 3000 and let it go it does not spin the tires it just moves the car and almost free revs like the clutch is slipping. it just started doing it like 2 days ago still drives great other then that.

when was the clutch last replaced and how many miles are on the motor?

check and make sure no oil is leaking between the bell housing and the rear of the motor. otherwise you have a bad clutch or a leaking rear main seal.

it slips regardless of conditions? normally if its a rear main seal it normally takes awhile for it to slip during driving (in my case it was driving for more than 30-40 minutes. )
