Ok so it has been a ongoing problem, when I am merging into traffic, really winding it out, the clutch will slip as I enter gears, then slowly catch. It's been getting worst and worst until now. If I'm in gear and hit the gas, rather than stressing the engine, the clutch will just slip really bad. I'm worried that when I go to school next week the mountains will finish it off. Does this sound like the clutch? Also any clutch system anybody can recommend? Money is low, so I'd like a upgrade, but can't go crazy.

Thanks for all of the replies! The car has 177k miles and I just bought it at 174k. I don't believe it has ever had the clutch replaced. So you recommend the OEM clutch? I found a nice looking one on eBay. I also see some stage 2 and stage 3s, not sure if those are better or not. The car is bone stock. Thanks!

Yeah I had to same problem, bought my Celica and about 8 months later the clutch was gone, guess I don't drive much like the old owner. Anyway, my problems were exactly the same as yours and all you have to is buy a new clutch kit and install it. If you plan to install it yourself, give yourself ample time to do so as it takes a while. Good luck!
