Well i am trying to figure out whats wrong. Cause i know the top end is not that slow. so it has to be my trans. I want one that will hold up when i get more hp. So what you think i should get? You think it is the clutch or what? Cause it hauls *** till about 3500 rpm then you can feel it slow down.

Just from what you're describing it sounds like an engine problem, clutch is probably fine.
