clutch problem?
Discussion
I fear my clutch be on its way out!
I get to about 4000 revs on my 360 and it jumps to higher revs with no power increase.
It's as if I have depressed my clutch and increased the revs. Its not a steady increase, it’s quite erratic and jumps from 4 – 5 ½ k revs and back again.
Any idea’s what the problem may be?
is yours manual or f1?
if its manual i'd bet its the clutch. F1 probably the same, but don't know the inner workings, so it could be something else. But as the Fezza powerband is in the revs you mention, it sounds v much like clutch.
i could tell you a funny quote from rich1231 but i won't...

I had a new clutch on my manual car.
The symptoms were,you accelerated but the car didnt.It didnt jump,so may not necessarily be the same.
Worth getting checked out mate.
The new clutch cost me about 2200 quid,for the whole lot.
hope this helps.

another test you can do is to get the car into a relatively high gear for the speed, and then press the accelerator down a good amount (like halfway) and then a quick stab at the clutch, revs should rise and then fall back (by stab i mean press it down and let go very quickly). If it starts bouncing off the limiter its high chance new clutch time.
but best thing get it checked out.
to be brief (cant type too much) rich burnt his 996 tt clutch out, and he kept going on how the turbo was having problems. told him it was his clutch but he couldn't believe it, not mr "i use my clutch as my handbrake mechanical sympathiser" rich, oh no he wouldn't do that to a clutch. ha ha ha "my turbo is having problems"
