When I shift into second gear and really get on it the motor revs way up like its not in gear or the clutch is slipping or its just spinning the tires. Ive not really seen black marks and I know its in gear so that leaves me on the clutch. Its a brand new 6 puck clutch I installed myself. Any input would be great. Its a cable converted to a hydro trans.Its a turbo b18a1 that goes into boost about 2200 rpm.

Go out and put the car in 4th, get the rpms up to 2300-3300(depends on car) and floor it. If the rpms rise as you are hitting peak torque but your speedo is not increasing, then you need to look for a new clutch
