Thumbs down Clutch Madness

Hey,

I have been having a lot of troubles with my clutch and RPM's lately. After a little while the plot thickened and I soon realized that both problems relate to each other.

RPM's:
It happend most drastically in 2nd gear. If i tried to accelerate at all the RPM's would shoot up to about 6000 then back down to a 2000 and slowly clime again with the acceleration. Hence, forcing me to accelerate at painfully slopw rates. I was all like "What the f*ck?" not thinking much of it. It then started to happen in every gear. Then, after the RPM"s go really high (when I try to burn out or rev the engine) the engine got worse. Think about the problem I just described multiplied by a trllion. The car was virtually undrivable. I figured maybe I should just let it cool down and it might work again. I did and it did but the problem started to happen a lot easier as the week went on. It was almost like the clutch was have engaged all the time.

The Clutch
The cutch, to begin with, was not all that great. . . but me being the highly intelligent person I am didn't pay much mind to it. At the very top of the throw was when it engaged. It didn't engage gradually like a normal clutch should. To make it short, I need a new f*cking clutch. I think.
