Acceleration Problem, Clutch??
i have recently started having this problem. i will accelerate from a stop in 1st, and it will pull but not as much as it should. when i press the gas pedal almost all the way to the floor, it starts to rapidly accelerate, as if i have changed gears. it seems to do this worst after i have driven about 20 miles. the only thing i can think of is the clutch slipping or something similar. any ideas??

When you say:
What exactly do you mean? Are you saying the engine revs up quickly or the vehicle itself speeds up quickly. Typical of a slipping clutch is that you'll see the engine revs rise without the vehicle speed increasing. Usually worst in the higher gears and when going uphill.
when i press the gas pedal almost all the way to the floor, it starts to rapidly accelerate, as if i have changed gears.

when you press the gas pedal the vehicle speed increases rapidly as if i had downshifted. it also tends to jerk forward when the pedal is pressed. i thought it might have something to do with the clutch but it started before i put in a clutch kit 2 weeks ago and it hasnt changed. it seems to do it worst in 1st and 2nd although i can feel it some in 5th.
