Is my clutch going out ??

If I'm in second gear or 3rd or 4th or 5th and cruising and I step on the gas the Rpm's go up about 2k then drop back down and car grabs and takes off. But If I floor it starting in first gear and go through the gears it doesn't slip at all. What do you guys think It is

Lugging the engine.

Get above 2K or more before nailing it.

If driven properly a clutch in a MT should last 200k miles

My 06 G35 just before trade in still on the original clutch.
No slipee

Jdubg37,

My bad, I read your OP wrong. Might still be a slipping clutch. Either that or pressure plate has lost some of its 'pressure'. I think there might be some other threads on here on how to test for a slipping clutch. This happen suddenly or over time? What's your driving style, are you aggressive with it, slipping alot at take offs? Miles on the car?

Generally, it seems like 40-60K is about what these are good for. Albeit, some get much more, 80-100K, but all depends how you drive it.

It's an 09 with 36k miles just bought it to weeks ago so the dealer is paying to fix it. It only slips when I'm in the gear and get on it but does it in every gear second through 6th

Took it to infiniti they said it's the clutch and hopefully they don't have to replace the flywheel too
