Sounds like a clutch problem to me.. dunno too much about RB gemi's so i guess take it to a mechanic if you cant replace em yourself, or if you can adjust em, try that.. but yeah, def. clutch

Your clutch pads are slipping against the pressure plate. Basically, the gearbox is not getting all the power from the engine, there is 'slippage'. Depending on how worn your pressure plate is, you might have to buy a whole new clutch, rather than just the pads. A whole clutch will set you back $120ish if you install it yourself. To install yourself you will need to take off the gearbox and remove the old clutch and install the new.

No idea how much it will cost at a garage because I never use them.
