im not sure whats causing this so please help!

i was driving in a tunnel cruising at 3500 in 4th, pushed it a little (since i havnt been able to with the new baby lol) anyways, the rpms rose to 4k then lagged and dropped down to 3k then the car started to pull again like normal (once i noticed the issue i slowed down and drove normal again, didnt push it after). im due for my 60k service in a few thousand miles. so im thinking my belts have stretched and have started to slip, but then im thinkin its my clutch. normal driving under 3k is fine just when i push it a little i get the problem.

any input would be hepful thanks!!

Should be Okay to drive on for a bit...for a dd with no plans for power mods, act 2900lb pressure plate and street disk should compliment your setup just fine.

I got the same problem.Iwas thinking maybe the TPS sensor. If its the clutch then I'm looking at getting the clutch masters fx100 found a deal for a complete kit for 550 OTD. What do you think?
