    When I accelerate, my clutch seems to be slipping. The best way to describe it is I hit the gas, rpms go up, but car is slow to move. It happens in every gear. Does this sound like a clutch problem? If so, could it be the bearing? Pressure plate? What is the most common failure on a 95 clutch?

    Sounds like classic symptoms of clutch failure. Whatever you do, don't let it spend much time slipping like that, or you'll mess up your pressure plate. Usually, the failure mechanism is the clutch plate wearing so thin that the pressure plate can't put enough pressure on it anymore.

    The good news is that the 355 and 348 are two of the easiest cars in the world on which to change a clutch.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Is there a thread explaining the removal and replacement?
