Default (potentially) clutch related problem with 2006 Civic SI

What I am noticing at a higher gears when I have been going to accelerate (especially from the 3-4k RPM range) my revs will start rising without any acceleration...... if i accelerate with minimal gas increase over time.... it usually will work.... but if i do any more than a baby step of gas at a time i see it starting to go up again. also when I'm at high RPMs now and I shift from 8k back down the the next year.... what I'll see is it riding on 7k RPM for a few seconds and then let off...... note during all this my clutch is completely out.

I am not sure how the person before me drove it.... so he could have ****ed the clutch...... and I just recently got the car.....

But I was thinking that this could be a problem with my pressure plates.... and if so.... is it a safe enough assumption to drop my tranny and put in an Exidy Stage 1 clutch with an RSX flywheel in it?

It sounds like your clutch is done my friend....Baby it until you can get a new one. If you bought it from a dealership maybe they might be able to work out something for you. Depending on how fried it is you may want to look into getting the flywheel resurfaced as well.
