It's the clutch. While your tach is going up and the speedometer is going up it's not going up as fast as it should. The only way the tach can drop without the car changing speeds is if the clutch is slipping.

That's because the people in the two threads you linked have different problems. Neither one of them have the tach dropping 500 RPM without the car slowing down.

actually I just got a pm from the guy with the x that it was happening to and he said that the load values were set too low so there's my answer! Sorry buddy, as much as ur dying for my clutch to go out, I guess it isn't the clutch afterall haha. Did something happen in your driving past that's causing you post traumatic clutch syndrome?next time u hear the smallest noise while driving ur car, chances are it isn't your clutch man!

I seem to have the same issue! RPMs are dropping when I step on it on 3rd, 4th or 5th gear while I'm cruising and after 1 sec continue to accelerate. Does not seems to be fuel cut as the car is not stopping, it just delays the acceleration.
Is it confirmed that the issue is caused by the clutch?
Have in mind that the car is bone stock GSR.
