Clutch problem

So I was driving down the road today at roughly 40 mph and I pressed the gas to accelerate and the rpms shot up but the car hardly accelerated. I believe the clutch is going, because it happens in every gear. Also, I dump the clutch quite a bit (could be a result of this). Any suggestions on what to do? Car is a 2006 civic si.

I also have a video of me on the dyno making 623whp with a broken transmission and 100degree intake temps. Since then we have went with .020 over pistons, from hks 272s cams to hks 282s, and a bigger turbine housing. i run 50psi on this bitch all day.

Fuck yeah dude, that is really sick. That is a damn nice 4G63 build.
50 p.s.i. of boost.. that is just insane! What turbo is that?

I'm trying to save my money to swap an RB25DE-T (R33 Skyline motor. turbo inline-6) into a S14 Nissan 240sx, which I am going to do as soon as I graduate college.. I can't wait! haha
I plan to fully build it, and I'm expecting around 800HP.

Sorry for doubting you, but I interpreted your original post as some typical 14-year-old NSer making up some random lie so he could seem cool on the internet.

Nice ride man. Impressive.

Mad props and respect. Thanks for posting the pics.
+++Karma for sure.
Peace.

45 on the dyno 50 when we put it on the on street or track. 5 psi is good for like another 40hp or more :)

Your supposed to push down on the thing beside the accelerator before you clutch.

i love how people think you wouldnt need a twin disk for this much power.  my buddy has a civic hatch he just finished building. borg warner s372, full race top mount manifold, built GSR. should be pushing close to 850 if not closer to 900 when he dyno's it at the end of this month. when honda-tech is back up ill get pics

sick evo man, the dynoflash evo runs like 50+ psi and had over 1016hp  but he tuned it down into the 800s-900s i believe cuz he couldnt get traction. im in the market right now for an evo but i should be flying into cali to look at south coast mitsu (dont know how into the evo scene you are but you should have heard of them) to go look cuz slc and vegas have shit for nice preowned evos (dont get me started, i know how risky that is.... i know mad heads that would never touch a preowned evo, but i can only afford 24-26)

oh ya btw al runs like low 9s in his, i would be interested to see your slip when you go! when theres that much power the 60ft is huge! when theres that much power do they stilll use a two-step? (i would imagine an aftermarket one?)

when there is that much power u gotta use a two step. ya i know about that place, do you mean socal mitsu they might be called the same thing. i know they have the last Evo 9 that came off the production line. its brand new, white and they want like $40,000 for it.

that would be nice to see some numbers that high but i highly doubt they will be reached. my friend had over 80k into a type r with an lsvtec motor and he only made like 750. plus like the highest horsepower honda motor built put down like 1,000hp so i dunno if some random dude is gonna be able to post numbers like pro's haha. im not saying its not possible i just want to see the dyno sheets before me say 850-900 out of a honda.

a twin disk is a type of clutch, right? What's the difference between that and other types of clutchs?

so the problem ended up being a shredded PSI plate, and burnt disc. these, as well as the 2nd + 3rd gear rebuild ended up costing me a whopping total of $0.00 thanks to the extended warranty. so 3 weeks later i have my car and its better than ever.
