Acceleration Problem

[Guest Andy_79]

Hi newbie here ! just got a xsara 1.6 and have found that when accelerating, for example from 30 -40 mph its very slow. the engine revs (counter jumps up to 3k rpm) but the car doesnt speed up as you'd expect, in fact theres very little acceleration at all.

 

Can anyone suggest whats wrong ???

 

Thanks,

is the clutch slipping to test that put it in high gear then accelerate hard if the revs go high and the car goes slow its a slipping clutch
