Default Increasing RPM's HELP!

Mostly when my car shifts from 3rd to 4th the RPMS race from 3,000 to 7,000. Eventhough the RPM's are increasing the car's power stays the same and my speed does not increase at all This also happen in other gears but not as often. One other time this occurs is when you are at very low PRM's and hit the gas, the car starts to flutter.

Just got a call from dealer saying that there is nothing wrong with my car? I am very confused especially when i thought I was going to break down a few different time.

Any answres or help.

If its a manual, sounds like your clutch is slipping.

Default when in auto mode or tip mode? does it make a difference?

Have you been driving aggresively?

Do you live near a VAG tool person who could help out?<ul><li><a href="http://www.steve-hall.com/cgi-bin/VAG-Locator.pl">Vag locator</a></li></ul>

Auto transmissions fail too. Sounds like early symptoms to me.
