Tranny Slipping?

Tranny Slipping?
It's been about a week now and I started to notice that my 04 doesn't run as fast as it used to. When I'm at a stop light, and when it turns green, I put it in first and it acts as if I were trying to do a burn out. It revs for a few seconds before actually moving or getting any traction. Once I want to switch gears, it also revs a little once its in 2nd before it actually starts accelerating. I'm thinking it could be transmission but I am not quite sure. It has 77,473 miles and no CEL. The only light popping up is the Coolant warning which has always been like that. Any ideas?

Definitely sounds like a clutch. That burning tires smell is probably the clutch slipping. I would think you'd definitely know if the tires were slipping enough to smell it.

Yeah, I believe it's the clutch now. With what you guys are saying and with what I smelled earlier, it is the clutch. It struggled at picking up speed when it was in first and then I started smelling something like rubberish but not like the tire smell. So now I have to fix it. Well I guess its time for a stage three clutch lol. JK I don't have that amount on me

You're not really likely to produce more torque than the stock clutch can handle, on these cars, and the higher performance a clutch is, usually the less friendly it is in daily driving. I'm sure OE-spec aftermarket clutches are fine, but don't get into 'stage 3' things, they're way overkill.
