2013 sport in need of a clutch

I've had my 2013 fit sport for almost 4 years now and the clutch has started slipping. Looking for budget friendly replacement options just needing a clutch to get me by. it's just a daily driver so no performance clutch is needed but I've been wanting to upgrade and dont know what brands to trust. Thanks in advance to any advice given.

ik it's a clutch because the car is high mileage and it's been close to 100k mile since the last clutch was put in. it's not a loss of power the rpm climbs but speed doesn't go with it which is exactly what a slipping clutch will to on a manual vehicle and it currently only does it under heavy load but i dont want to be stranded and have to call a tow
as for your issue is you car manual or auto trans?

and at highway speeds it just won't accelerate like if you wanted to pass or it looses power and slows down on its own?

when driving on the highway the car will jerk/ buck and then the car will start to slow down while my foot is on the gas, and I see the rpms are up but no acceleration. I will eventually pull over, turn the car off and on and all the lights go away on the dash. The car will drive fine until it happens again.

id try and get it to do it then scan the codes with a code reader and that might help you narrow down your problem

I hate it when people on a forum answer a question with a question. Offer advice based on the data provided. Please.

Thank you.
