Had the strangest thing happen today. Driving home on the at about 55 mph, in 5th (have a 5spd), want to overtake someone, so I change lanes and mash the gas pedal, rpms shoot up by about 300-400 rpms but the car doesn't accelerate then suddenly rpms come back down 300 rpms and car starts acclerating hard. I didn't touch the clutch. Just to check if it was me tried this in 4th and same thing happened. Happened a total of four different occassions. Never happenend until today. WTF is going on??? Is it the TPS??? Happen to anyone else in their 5spds???

 

Sounds like your clutch was slipping. What else could it be?

 

thought about the clutch, but funny thing is it only happens at WOT, not when the gas pedal is pushed half way. Looks like I got to go to the dealer have it checked. Good thing it's still under warranty!

 

The only way engine speed can change without road speed changing is that something has to slip - tires or clutch. I find it hard to imagine lighting the front tires in 5th (except on ice) so it has to be your clutch - probably just adjusted too tight.
