My car has 70,000 hard miles. I have sort of a feeling my clutch is going, it feels really cheesy gripping into gear.

When I drop it hard into gear sometimes, the car bogs. However, this doesn't usually happen at peak RPM, only under moderate acceleration.

Thanks for the help in advance.

yes, mine is going to and i have 50k on my 2002 GT. When you punch it at 1st gears and seems like it's not moving it's most likely the clutch slipping. I know it's not my tires.. hehe. I'm going with mcleod clutch.. www.maximummotorsports.com

Yep...also if your car revs after a certain rpm instead of going...that is also a symptom...
