[Lynxis]

So I noticed yesterday that my clutch pedal was squeaking on return stroke and making a bit of a vibration as it squeaked. Sound is more like a creaking noise really. I did some reading and watched some videos and the throw out bearing is likely the culprit. Not a big deal, I'll get it dealt with later this week.

Then I noticed on my way home while cruising along in 6th gear at around 2000rpm that I started to lose speed on a slight incline which hasn't happened before. I gave more and more throttle and the car still refused to accelerate even wide open throttle. Downshift to 5th and it can accelerate again. Back to 6th, still no power so I stay in 5th until I get home. No check engine lights and I ran fault scan anyways, no faults found so not convinced it's an engine problem. Stick car in neutral with clutch out and rev, seems to rev normally. Clutch in and rev, it's similar.

Anyone think this might be related to a bad clutch/TOB issue? I'm a little weak in my knowledge/experience of this particular area and don't know how they can affect things like this. I can imagine a slipping clutch could cause this but I understand the revs would go up if that was happening and they did not when I was flooring it in 6th.

I also can't really tell if the power is similar in 5th than usual because it's kind of weak anyways. Tried 2nd gear pull and it felt mostly normal but once again, hard to say, I haven't driven hard in months since too much ice and snow here.

Looking for opinions. Planning to take it to Subaru tomorrow although I'm now 2 months out of warranty so not sure what they'll do if anything...
