I have a 2006 G35 coupe, manual tranny with almost 40k miles.
I started to notice this symptom last week.
On every gear change, 1-2-3-4-5-6, the engine would rev up at least 10k rpm before accelerating. This revving up also happens when I downshift.
So it's basically each time I change gears. I'm worried that it will cost a bundle to fix. Has anyone had this problem? Or has it been discussed in any forum yet?
thanks.

 

Slipping clutch.

 

lol 10k rpm?

but yea hows ur car smell? alil funny these days? Defintaly sounds like the clutch

 

ok, heres my dilemma now. infinity quoted parts, clutch for $1500, flywheel $1200, $2700 installed. kinda stiff. are there any aftermarket parts? great mechanic who will do this a bit inexpensive in Riverside, San Bernardino, CA area? I may go for aftermarket parts if anyone has a suggestion. thanks.

 

aftermarket parts would be the way to go, the new clutch will hold down more power and a lighweight flywheel will be much more fun to drive, but be forewarned; the stock flywheel is dual mass and eliminates all chatter from the transmission, while a new lightweight unit will not so anytime you stomp on it below ~1200rpm it will sound like a cement mixer/meat grinder, above that its same as stock.
