Why does my car have high RPMs when accelerating?

The vehicle may also experience irregular or delayed gear shifting. A manual vehicle experiencing this difficulty may be related to a slipping clutch.
When does a car over revve but not gaining speed?
When I’m driving along the dual carriage way it takes ages to pick up speed yet the car is over revving. Cars are always over taking me, it’s embarrassing. I’m on the dual carriage way barely reaching 30mph at times. When it finally reaches 40 I up the gear to 4th. Thinking about it now the over revving seems to happen when i change gear.
