Hey Guys what's up???

Anywayz After going on a long drive from Vegas My 5th Gen lude SH started to act strangely when i try to rev up my engine...

Here's whats happening.... At neutral when i press on the pedal and rev it up the RPM's climbs up fine... but when i try to shift to first gear then run RPM tends to go up and down on me.... then when i shift to second it will do the same thing... so pretty much Looks like my cars power is dropping and its taking a hella long time to pick up.... Could this mean that its time for a new clutch or is there any problems with my Cars engine.....?????

Here's the Mods that I have on the Car so far...

AEM cold air intake
AEM Pulley
VTEC controller
Magnaflow exhaust


Any help will be appreciated thanks...

sounds like your clutch is slipping, which means its FUCKED! Time to buy a new clutch.

i'm not sure 4 puck is recommended for street use either LOL

but whatever floats your boat :iceslolan

btw, its not ABSOLUTELY essential that you change your flywheel, but if you can afford it, do it. otherwise, it'd be a good idea to have it resurfaced. I'm pretty sure most brake shops will be able to do this for you at a good price.
