my car drives fine 1st through 4th gear..... but when i was on the highway i put it into 5th gear and while applying near to no gas it was at 5500rpm....... i dont know, i have only had this car for less than 30 days, i dont think this should be happening. and if my clutch is done, does anyone know any performance clutch parts.

Your cars fine, its just the gearing. If your clutch is fine in the lower gears that have more torque then its fine. If its slipping thene you'd know, it RPMs get high and the car doesnt get any faster.

So if you apply gas it still accelerates right? You might accidentally be going into 3rd gear but it might not be your fault. Your cables may be sticking and only going a certain amount of the way when you try to throw it over to 5th gear. Lube them up or buy some new ones and see what happens.
