hey guys
My car Doesn't run normally until I fully race the gas pedal, earlier the car used to run smoothly but from this week it doesn't. Before when I leave the clutch it used to go off but now it doesn't. The rpm is also acting wired, for example in gear 3 if I press the gas it goes till 6 but the car Doesn't go fast and all of sudden like in 5 secs the car will jerk then rpm works properly. In all gears it's the same issue.

Everything you described points to a slipping clutch. Continuing to force it to try to move is going to overheat the pressure plate and flywheel which will result in a much higher bill for parts and labor.

If the year and mileage you listed are correct, the vehicle should still be under warranty.
