Question Clutch slipping?

I brought my car up to 4.5-5 k and let the clutch out slowly, and my car did the weirdest thing. When i let the clutch up finaly first gear wouldent grab or second or third this was while maintaining the rpms at like 4k then i let off the throttle completly and put her into second and it finaly caught then it was normal again. WTF happned what was this? Is my clutch showing signs of wear?

Keep doing that, it'll get worse If you're going to release the clutch at that RPM, you better do it fast or you'll kill the clutch disk.

if the clutch is going...YEP! It's only downhill from here man. So replace it soon, or you're going to have to replace your flywheel too.
