Whats wrong with my car?

So this has happened to me a few times, I thought it was clutch slip but apparently I was wrong.

When I floor it first to second, it shifts perfectly fine, and sometimes it will feel like my RPMS get "Stuck" around 4-5kish, as if I was spinning the tires but they aren't, its not the actual odometer because I can hear the SC whining like a bitch, and the car gets sluggish, I usually get out of it fast since I have fears after breaking my axles, so I dont know if it will eventually grab, or whatever its trying to do

I also heard ZZP axles can cause issues with the input shaft or tranny housing, I have ZZP axles

I'm almost positive, I was told that I clutch slip would cause they RPMs to shoot up but the car would go no where, also did the little 5th gear testing and everything worked fine

Its hard to put a finger on exactly what you are describing. If it was clutch slip the RPMS wouldnt "stick" to a certain RPM, they would go up then back down to meet the engine actual RPM.

It could be something as simple as a tuning issue wherein you encounter a flat spot at a certain rpm. Post up a vid if you can.

If the tires are not spinning then its your clutch. the rpms dont have to shoot up, there are diffrent degrees of clutch slip.

I recently got pulled over for street racing, reckless driving, and speeding, and somehow got away with it all (Clean record and pizza delivery FTW?) So I'm scared to get on the gas at all, but ill see what I can do haha

4th gear, 2700 rpms and stab the throttle. Should be able to tell by like 5k rpms if its slipping or not.

How did you not get nailed? I got a ticket for supposedly going 80 when I had my cruise control set on 72 (car passing me was flying like a bat out of hell).
