feels like slipping

[juiced_94gt]

yesterday a buddie and i were racing along on the empty freeway and when i was in fith gear at about 125 mph and i gave it gas it felt like something was bouncing i dont know if it was slipping or what it felt fine the rest of the way home, any clues? could the clutch be fried? but like i said it felt fine after i let off on her. thanks

might be your driveshaft? when you accelerated did it feel like you were getting more thrust or just making noise? if the later is the case I would say the clutch is going.

If it dosent do it when you slow down then dont be going 125 MPH

ya i wasnt getting much thrust just a kinda jerking vibration

At that rate of speed it wouldnet be a slipping clutch since its not really under any load as if you were launching at a drag strip. Prob the vibration your feeling is nothing but the tires. At those speeds any street car will feel jerky/unstable.

There is no reason to be going 125 MPH on the freeway I dont mean to sound like a puts but what happens if you have a blowout or something. You hit something at that speed and it isnt going to be pretty.

I have the same problem, I was told a aluminum driveshaft would help eliminate some of that vibration

but it only did it when i hit the gas, when it was just coasting it felt alright

well dont go 125 MPH and dont worry about it.
