Drive in 6th at 2000rpm, floor it and if the rpm's climb but you're not going faster then it's slipping.
Not to be a pain here, but ... I mean ... I am kind of a noob here and I am afraid to touch things I dont know things about. What are the pros / cons of removing this thing. Maybe it's worth it for me just to leave it as is? lol.

I appreciate you guys helping me out!
It does sound awfully close to what actually is happening based on my feel.
ECS has a nice kit with a well made CDV omission device + stainless steel hydraulic line as the top $ way to rid your car of the CDV. Simply gutting the OE part is the no part cost way. Removing the helper spring is really simple, requires removing the kick panel and a hook tool or pliers.
VW put all this junk in the car to make it easy for 95% of the people on the planet to drive the car. If you are here on this forum, you are likely the other 5% and don't want or need that "aid".
Remove those devices and you will be rewarded, trust us.
IDK what a "kick panel is," but i didn't have to "remove" shit, besides the spring itself.
RPM hang with the clutch in and throttle off is a byproduct of flywheel inertia. Slow uptake of the clutch pedal after a rapid depress is a byproduct of the CDV + over center clutch helper spring.
Appreciate the honesty. Any volunteers in the Bay Area?
Sure, I'm in the East Bay in Pleasanton if you wanna shoot over the hills.
If you're driving in 3rd, then change to 4th, do the RPM's not go back down immediately even with the clutch depressed(rev hang)? OR, do the RPM's go back to that RPM you shifted from in 3rd/start to climb up once you've gotten into 4th gear then start giving it throttle?
If the latter, and you're not actually accelerating with your RPM's going higher, your clutch is toast. Does it only happen in higher gears like 3,4,5,6th, or does it happen in any gear?
You could always try putting it in 6th gear at really low RPM then flooring it. This, I guess, is a way some people diagnose their clutch being good or bad. Not sure how accurate it is though.
Thanks! Yeah it would be the latter, I just have to give it a half a second to adjust. The power is there though for all other scenarios so I dont know if the clutch is toast. I have noticed this only between gears 3 - 4.
I will do the test today and get back to you guys. Appreciate you guys being so helpful!
As far as driving to Pleasanton, that sounds good. I'll PM you, if you're available anytime this weekend!
Yeah, I may be a little hungover Saturday morning from going to the Warriors game Friday night, but other than that, I'm good lol.

.........When I am at a high RPM range like on 3rd gear (lets say ~5500) and I super-quickly shift up and press back on the gas (all very fast), somehow the transmission does not adjust the RPMs down (to lets say ~4000) and keeps the RPM where it was on the previous gear.....
