    Default Give it to me straight Doc!

    It may have been nothing.Maybe just my mood.I had just screamed at some motorist up ahead riding in two lanes at half the speed limit.They had blown my flow big time and i had had it. Ready to explode when shifting into fifth gear and the gear selector seemed to go into fifth stry easily, like there was nothing there, it usually notches in kind of that got my attention. Then as i began to accelerate...... where are my balls? It was like hardly moving but the mileage meter dove down to nothing this kept my attention. I was accelerating but it just didn't seem to be with regular fifth gear gusto.Maybe i wasn't at speed, i can't recall clearly because i was so infuriated with the goon up ahead delaying my return to my domicile.Then i shifted into sixth and it it seemed to feel no different than fifth... again i may have just been going too slow to be in those gears but i did accelerate.From the next stop first,second,third all seemed normal but fourth seemed a little weak then fifth and sixth also weak but now better acceleration than a few moments ago when my attention was drawn to them... I didn't get much of a chance due to road conditions to open it up and run thru the gears for more than a 1/4 mile but then everything seemed essentially normal, i got up to 100 but something still just didn't feel exactly the same as it had felt.Am I imagining this or does this sound like something comprehensible. I don't think the clutch was slipping in the lower gears but was what i felt "slipping" in fifth and sixth or again was i just not at sufficient speed and there was too much inertia?Thanks.
