If the rpms are jumping up and you dont feel like you are accelerating... that's clutch plates slipping. Make sure your lever is adjusted right... if it is, then it's time for new plates.

Re: Engine slight power loss

new pressure plate wont really help...

you need to replace ALL of the FIBER plates... they are what create the friction on the metal plates that lets a clutch work.

to check for correct adjustment... there should be a small amount of "free play" in the cable... you should be able to pull the lever a tiny bit BEFORE there is tension on the cable and it starts to move the clutch arm down on the engine... hope that made sense... its hard to type this stuff without writing a book.
