Default 03 is300 Clutch issues

So I have a 5 speed 03 IS300 and I can drive it normally but when I start to dog it my rpms shoot up and I have to let go of the accelerator for it to catch again. So I just replaced my slave cylinder Bc my clutch pedal felt like it would lose pressure. Since then it still feels like it’s slipping but it’s not as bad after replacing the slave cylinder. Probably gonna swap out the clutch master cylinder next but any opinions would help out.

sounds like your clutch is worn out and is slipping under high load.

Yeah the hydraulics will do nothing to fix your worn out and slipping clutch. The only thing that holds this torque is the pressure plate, the flywheel, and the friction material on the clutch disk.... all of which the hydraulics of the clutch system have nothing to do with.

You're going to have to replace your clutch.
