is clutch on its way out? smell, squeal and slip in 6th if revved then engaged!

Thanks, my thoughts exactly, the reason I asked is that slip is only noticeable in 6th on an incline , revving to say 3000 revs and engaging clutch . Other gears seem fine but from experience that is the way I test . Mileage is low at 62,000 miles and it is not driven hard at all. I have had other cars cover 100,000 o original clutch but apparently these "dual mass" flywheel based clutches do not do the miles and cost the earth to change :-(

There should be no difference in labor to R&R trans for clutch replacement! Just because the pressure plate is 'dual-mass', like the Accord V6, it amounts to about 5 minutes difference in the 'process' for pressure plate INSTALLATION. If it's not done properly, you WILL have troubles fairly soon after, if not right away.
