are you saying 6 to 8 Krpm to get the car to move ? Say your in second gear and you apply the brakes at the same time pressing on the gas to maintain the same speed, does your rpm increase ? but the car still slows while pressing on the gas ? If so it sounds like you burnt your clutch up and most likely need a new one.

Sounds like the clutch to me, if it is you should be able to smell it. A burn't clutch has a very unique odor. And if you smell that burnt smell, its probablly time for a new clutch. Good luck.
