All I can tell you......and it may not make any sense at all...........is my daughters car(a non 8) had this sort of issue and it turned out to be the TPS(Throttle Position Sensor). her RPM's would randomly dip and climb 500 or so RPM's and it got worse the longer you drove the car. Would take a while to show up, but when it did, it would happen about every five-ten seconds.

YOu might wanna read through this thread and the attachments.

my question is, does that sound like something that a bad clutch would do or is it something else?
