strange jolt of revs (clutch) ????

[Guest]

ok i have a 99 subaru legacy b4 rsk manual. Recently i have noticed that the revs will jolt up with out pressing any extra accelerator.. like i will be just driving in 3rd at about 50k's around 2.5k revs or so and then it will just rev to 4-5k revs out of the blue and will not gain speed if so it wasnt in gear and i havnt pressed the clutch or anything or gave it any more gas.. but there is a foul clutch smell.

its like the clutch just decideds 2 engage out of the blue while driving its seems to shift fine tho.

i take it this is a clutch issue perhaps slipping? new clutch time ???

if anyone could help me out would be a great help..

thx

Certainly sounds like a slipping clutch to me.

Yep new clutch time.
