Can someone explain what it feels like when the clutch slips. Its my first standard so im not too familiar. Thanks guys

 

RPM's go up and you go nowhere or you go slow and rpm's go up- I mean way up

 

The car will go a certain speed at a certain rpm in each gear. If you are at that rpm and are going slower something is slipping, either your clutch plate between the flywheel and pressure plate or your tires and the surface beneath them. Everytime you start from a dead stop you are going to slip the clutch a little or your tires.

 

Exactly. Something needs to slip in order to allow the vehicle to accelerate from a stop. Cars can't just gain instant velocity, the clutch or tires need to slip before the car can get going. In an ideal situation with a manual trans, you want to keep the RPM's as low as possible for as short a time as possible while still accelerating smoothly
