^ lala its an auto , which clutch are u talking about
If the kick bag had a problem , then it would shift gears a bit late
@poster
poor acceleration in such cars is due to fuel issues , firstly check ur fuel pressure as stated by @shazo , get ur throttle cleaned + ur injectors , u can clean the injector filters by removing the dirt and grime on it carefully but to clean them from inside u need to add an injector cleaner in ur fuel , once the fuel part is taken care of , if the problem is still there , the next thing u need to check is the electric part i.e ur sensors and wiring , and do have an eye on ur vtec
FYI The r.p.m should rise as soon as u turn on ur AC
