    so im driving down the hiway in hi gear,slight pull on the motor and then all of a sudden it revs to the moon like the clutch let go,so I back off the throttle and it seems normal,so I come to a stop sign and take off expecting the worst go thru the gears like no ones business,no slipping or anything,any ideas on what it could be?

    Really don't know but I'm driving a 2014 and the electronic speed control on the cruise seems to get a little weird sometimes. Have the codes checked

    clutch will more likely slip in top gear than lower gears. hows your pedal free play?

    It has to have clutch free play. If the transmission is coming loose from engine will do that. Check for gap between housings. Could be a trans. problem but would expect noise or funny shifter feel.

    Usually When the throw out bearing goes the clutch won't disengage, the pedal goes to the floor and nothing. It will still pull however and not slip if you can start it in gear or get it rolling some how. They also usually growl really bad the closer to ready they get.
     
    Mr.X Thanks this.

    You sure you didn't hit the splitter or anything like that? Sometimes I have a brain fart and hit the gas before the gear engages
