Ya, your clutch is slipping.

It's gonna cost you whatever a replacement clutch costs. I'd probably have a shop replace it if I were you.

Depending on the labor costs for specific shops, I'm guessing its gonna cost you between 1-1.5 thousand.

I got my clutch done at EQ Tuning and they did a great job. I got a full face clutch RPS Max clutch for the same price that most places were quoting an OEM clutch.

I dont recall what I paid, but I think it was around $1150 - $1300.

Talk to Paul at DB tuned. He just put a sweet new clutch in for me for less then i was quoted at the dealer for the OEM clutch. Paul is on this forum. he could probably get you a quote if you PM him.
