Default Weird Revs

Hey guys I was trying to find something that would explain whats going on with the version 6 but really not sure what to put in the search as I have no clue on whats going on.

Last night driving home I went to get onto the freeway when I put the foot on the gas it hit 3000 then revved its nuts off like I was holding the clutch in to about 8000 and didn't really move anywhere until I changed gears. Does this in every gear managed to get home fine, as long as it stays at 3000 the car is fine.

The car is still doing this today had a look at the boost controller hoses in case they have come off, have experienced that before but all is good.

Sorry if it makes no sense guy's just dont really know anyway of explaining it.

Cheers
Danny

Clutch?
Although I guess you would most definitely smell it if you drove like that for a while.

so the car just revs out rather than put those RPM to the wheels?

im far from an expert but it sounds like an epic clutch slip

Clutch didn't smell what so ever so I'm not sure if it's that mate. It doesn't even boost see rev's to the 8000 then seems to kick in for a short time after that. But really has nothing from the start.
