Clutch worn already?
1. At 5th and 6th gear around 55mph when accelerate too fast rpm will spike, and smell clutch burning.
2. The gear indicator display incorrect gear 50% of the time. Does it mean, my clutch is done? Please help. Thanks! |
1. Sounds like a worn clutch.

Sounds like a pedal adjustment issue maybe.

How many miles? I smelled a burnt clutch/rubber smell for about the first 10k miles off and on. It's fairly common on here.

OP, see if you can compress the piston further into the slave cyiinder. Doesn't take much. If you can push it a couple mm, then the clutch master cylinder is fully releasing. Most likely, your clutch is just toast. Sorry. Bummer. |

Check that you have hydraulic fluid in the reservoir for the clutch and see if it looks like air might have been sucked in. This could be the root cause for an otherwise toast clutch. |
No, if there was air in the line OP wouldn't be able to shift into gear.
Replace clutch. |
I am taking it to the dealer on Wednesday and hopefully i don't have to replace the clutch.

A clutch going out at 27k miles is a clear indication of some other problem. Driver or mechanical. He may need to replace the clutch. But if he doesn't find the underlying problem, he may encounter this again in the future. |

And the pedal feels soft because the clutch disc is worn down to the rivets - loose pressure plate. |
