no just indicates your fluid should be changed and bled. no need to replace the clutch until it begins to slip.

i think my clutch may be slipping because when i shift to next gear and stomp on it sometimes it revs really high and goes no where like im in neutral, but when i stop and turn off the car, it seems to be normal again?

yes your clutch it slipping, when you drive, the clutch overheats and loses it's friction, that's why you have this problem when the car is hot. when the car is cold, the clutch just slips a lil bit and you don't notice.

either that, or your clutch is out of adjustment (check the play on the cable).

I'm surprised you can't smell your roasted clutch after a long hard drive.

whats with all these clutch questions today?

And yes, sounds like it's slipping. Get a new clutch kit and machine the flywheel.
