    Clutch possibly going out?

    So, I put my foot down and the revs shoot up to 3-4k but then drop back a few hundred, Like acceleration is turned off temporarily, so I back off the throttle a bit and the revs start climbing again. Don't notice it much in 1st or 2nd, worse in 3rd and 4th. Is this a sign of the clutch going?

    Dashcam Hardwire
