Well i noticed as i was driving the cav last night that in 4th gear if i pushed down the pedal say more than half way i would get this feeling as if the car was reving like the clutch was in and wasnt going anywhere.  this only happens in 4th and 5th gear and when i get the gas pedal down past about the half way mark.  1st thru 3rd work fine.  not sure what it could be.  any ideas?
 
 
Im assuming its a manual tranny.  Do you have a tach to confirm the engine is revving?  When a M/T car revs w/o gaining speed its a sign that the clutch is shot.  It does it in the higher gears because your losing the torque multiplication from the lower gears in the tranny.  I usually test it by finding a nice hill, drive up it in either 3rd or 4th, and floor the throttle.
I have experianced this in my old 89' GP and my dad's 07' Cummins.  Both needed clutches.
 
 
yea its a manual and no the car doesnt have a tach.  im very familiar with my car and im positive that the car is reving and not moving in 4th and 5th gear.   i was almost certain it could be the clutch also but was not sure.  the car starts out fine on hills in 1st and i never really had a problem til last night.
 
 
Yea your clutch is starting to go.
