Exclamation my clutch not working right

Im haven problems with my clutch, say if i put the pedal down in 3rd or 4th or 5th the engine will rev higher but i wont speed up with the rev, its like the clutch slips or something when i flore it. And I can't really power shift, if i drop the clutch with the pedal down the clutch wont disengage it will just keep sliping and the car will have no torque. I would have to let go of the gas to let the clutch engage then i would have to take it easy or it might slip again. What could be the problem???? And wil it be a costly fix?
Any suggestions on what i should do?

Don't worry about the hydraulics for now. You need a new clutch.

maybe time to fill er up with some fluid. but yes, sounds like your clutch is toast for sure.

What do they go for on eBay? I got a Mazda clutch through Competition for $50 and I thought it was pricey.

New Clutch, that is the exact same thing my old car did when it was going out, any gear I was in, if I gave it gas it would rev high then drop and catch up with itself. It also had a horrible smell along with that problem, but i ignored it until i couldn't shift anymore

I had the same "high rev" problem with my SE. I replaced the clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing and it's cured.
