Default Clutch/Transmisson Problem?

Ok, Listed in my sig are my few mods. Now the problem is whenever I driving a highway speeds(55+) over 2k+ rpms and i let off the gas my car will sort of buck. It feels like the clutch may be going out because when I am creeping over speed bumps shifting from 1st to 2nd i can hear a slight grinding/crunching sound. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be? Thanks in advance.

When my clutch went it would slip a little on the highway in 5th gear. In city driving it would only slip a little then it started making metalic noises then whinning. One day it just went and it sounded like metal in a blender.

Maybe stock adjuster went bad?

When you are driving on the interstate start cruising and then let off the gas and then push it to the floor (in fifth). If it revs up a little and doesn't accelerate you need a new clutch!

Thanks for the tips. I am going to head out later on today and see if it does just rev up in 5th. Thanks.

Ok went and drove at highway speeds and began to cruise and did what you said and the car reved up and took a minute to kinda catch and began accelerating after. Thanks DeltaV, I guess im going to have to take it to the shop and have them take a look at it.
