clutch questions

[David Liu <dyliu@pacbell.net>]

hey all-

i don't peel out at all and i rarely dump my clutch, yet i've noticed that 
the most recent times when i dumped at 3-5k from a stop (for whatever 
reason), the car moves a bit, then the engine keeps revving while the 
clutch tries to grab hold and move the car. i've never replaced the clutch 
(though the previous owner did and i don't know what he replaced it with) 
and i've never owned a car that was in all that good a condition, so i'm 
not sure it's normal... i would expect some slipping in the clutch, but 
again, i would think that it would grab and hold.

now, i've run tests where i would go uphill and pound on the gas at the 
lower gears and there was no noticeable slipping. what are your 
experiences? does it sound like i need to do some work on the clutch?

thanks
dave
