Default Noob question about clutch slippage

Hi guys what are the common symptoms of a clutch slipping.
I only as as when I accelerate in 5th from about 60mph it will start off fine then the revs will increase at a faster rate than my speed, then it dipsback to normal after a second (if that makes sense) could this be a sign ofthe clutch slipping.

Thanks

Yes, that,s the symptoms of a worn clutch. It will gradually get worse. Steve.

I didn,t replace my slipping clutch for a couple of months because of work commitments but did get pi##ed of with the slow acceleration, so I fitted uprated Excedy clutch at first opportunity. Steve.

Time for a NEW clutch I think, accelerate hard you will and go forth you won't. Had the same problem and was quite annoying, must fit a quaillity clutch though. Good luck.

Ive only had the car 2 days, and the garage owner seems a genuine chap. I wont be impressed if he doesnt replace it...
