Acceleration Problem!!

I have a 2008 6mt g37s and recently it is not accelerating as fast as usual, I feel like the rpms are going too quick for the speed. It is only happening in 1st and low rpms In 2nd

Please help, thank you

Only way that could happen is if your tires jumped ship. You'd certainly hear bare wheels rolling down the road.

Assuming you mean RPMs (not "rims"), your clutch might be slipping.

I remember this one time, my lane was ending and I figured I would just out accelerate the person in the next lane. That day, I knew I would need a new clutch.

When in a higher gear and a steady speed, if you floor it do the rpm rise without the speed rising? High load low rpm acceleration should cause slipping.

I have tried that and the rpms slowly rise with the speed, as it is supposed to be I think
