Revs/Engine get stuck when putting my foot down

[Nishid100]

Hi,

 

I have an IS250 Sport (Manual), over the last few weeks i've noticed that when i'm in 3rd gear or above and I put my foot down the rev get go up to about 2500-3000rpm hold for a couple of seconds drop down by 500rpm and them the car starts to accelerate again. Also if i keep my foot down then it feels like something is slipping in the engine, any ideas as to what could be the problem?

One last thing if I do put my foot down for a minute or 2 then I get a weird smell coming through my vents for a few minutes.

If I do a gradual increase then it seems ok.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Nish

Classic signs of a slipping worn out clutch. If you need to drive the car do not accelerate hard in any gear, but particularly the higher gears. If you feel that slipping sensation ease your foot off the accelerator. If you do not do this you will come to a hill that the car will refuse to go up.

The clutch will need to be replaced in the very near future.

Thanks for the reply,  I will get it looked at next week hopefully, but that explains why I struggled to reverse up a curb a few weeks ago. 

I'm guessing the smell is the clutch burning?
