Description of the problem	After i shifted from 1st to 2nd gear, i tried to accelerate but the clutch slipped. When i completely took my foot off the accelerator i felt and heard a mild clunk as it was finally engaged. The rpms were at about 2000 and i was only traveling 5 mph when this first occurred. I continued to shift through the gears with the same symptoms. Once engaged after a while, in each gear, i pressed down on the accelerator pedal approximately halfway to see what it would do. The rpms shot up and no power got to the wheels. The clutch slipped immediately. I could not maintain speed going up some hills without the clutch slipping. I am looking in my rear view mirror to make sure i don't get hit from behind. This happens every day but not consistently. I have to shift at a maximum 2,500 rpm for it to not slip. I don't believe the vehicle could maintain any speed above 50 mph without the clutch slipping. There is a progressive groaning since this first started. I can feel it in the pedals and steering wheel as well. Nothing is dragging and the fluid level is at manufacturer's recommendations. I have been driving manual transmissions for over 26 years, imports and domestic. I never had a clutch fail before 150,000 miles. There are three ways to avoid an accident; hit the brakes to avoid, steer to avoid, and accelerate to avoid. I have lost 33% of my capability to avoid an accident due to pre-mature failure of the clutch. The owner's manual states "ideally, corners should always be taken with gentle acceleration." this is currently impossible because the clutch slips when i try to drive that way, on both left and right hand turns.
