Clutch slipping?
On the way to work this morning I was at a stopped sign and revved it up to 3.5K RPM and slipped the clutch... the revs stayed high and the car was barely moving. It seemed as if I was still on the clutch pedal but I wasn't even touching the pedal...
On the way home i noticed NO slipping and it grabbed good when I dumped it at 2-3K or so.
Is this the beginning of the end of this clutch? The car has 100K miles on original clutch and the car is a stock 03.

Well, its either the clutch is almost done or the hydraulic system operating it is having issues. The easiest thing at this point would be to flush the clutch fluid.
