Sounds like you have a slipping clutch. Generally, the clutch starts slipping in the upper gears and then works it way down. Is your car modified? If so, what's done to the car and what type of clutch is currently in it?

Take it to a transmission shop or an RX-7 shop.

you mentioned the new ACT clutch, but did you deplace just the clutch disk or the clutch plate and pressure plate? my friend couldn't figure out why his brand new clutch was slipping it ended up being a bad pressure plate.
