Default 1st gear

just wondering if my clutch is slipping or not.

when im on 1st gear and trying to brake to stop the car(no clutch), the car will still try to move forward without gas (its like your still slipping the clutch). is that normal? but if i make a complete stop car will stall.

the other test i did was running 30mph on 5th and flooring the gas but rpm doesnt rise quickly

by no clutch i beleve you are saying they clutch is engaged and if you are braking with the clutch engaged than the car will move forward.

i think you are saying that when you come to a stop in 1st gear without using the clutch, the car like lunges forward and stalls if you come to a complete stop?

if that is correct, then no, nothing is wrong with you clutch. thats what a manual transmission is suppose to do.

You should be hitting the clutch pedal when braking so that you don't stall the car. If you are pushing the pedal and the clutch doesn't disengage then you may have an adjustment problem or be low on clutch fluid as well as probably needing to bleed the slave cylinder.
