High RPM's And Redline When Accelerating

Whenever I Am Driving I Have To Lightly Ease On The Accelerator Pedal Through All Gears Or Else It Redlines In Every Single Gear...Even When Using Cruise Control...Slipping Clutch Possibly???...Need Help It's Causing Poor Performance!!!

sounds like a slipping clutch to me. go about 30 miles an hour and get into 3rd or 4th gear and floor it. if the rpms rise quickly and your not accelerating, its a slipping clutch.

I wouldn't install a "STAGE 3 RACING CLUTCH" on a car that didn't need one. Pedal modulation and bearing and other component life is affected. Do you NEED that crazy of a clutch? If you don't, you probably wont like it.

Plus what kind of clutch is it? Some kung fu Ebay racing one? Or a quality brand?
