Hey guys, So I bought a used Honda CR Z back in December with about 60K miles on it. About a week after driving it I noticed that it was sometimes hard to go into 1st gear unless I slightly released the clutch a little and ocassionally(maybe once a week or two) when I would go to put it in 4th it wouldn't go into gear and it'd make a grinding noise. The problem never got any worse, but the other day on the freeway my RPM's started jumping when I would try to accelerate and even though I was in 6th gear the shift indicator light would tell me to upshift. I pulled off and popped the hood and smelt that dreaded burning smell. By the time I got home the car would barely move at all. Luckily I got it home, but now the car won't accelerate at all, the RPM's just jump. Would this mean my clutch is burnt out? Like I said, the not going into gear crap happened so rarely that I didn't think it would give out so soon. I have only put 5K miles on it since I got it if that helps. Is there anything I could look at or try before shelling out on a new clutch kit? Maybe it is something completely different? I am not really sure here guys. I am open to any recommendations. Thanks in advance! You guys rock!!

Yes, from your description it sounds like the classic clutch disc failure.
