2003 Hyundai Elantra 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes, more often than not lately, I will be driving and it is almost as if I am in neutral. When I press the gas it revs the engine like I am not even in gear. It does not matter what gear I am in. It doesn't do it unless I push the pedal down to go faster, as if to pass someone. Do you have any ideas?

The clutch is the possible culprit here. It may be slipping and if so will require inspection and possibly replacement.
