Bad back shift on low end and loss of RPMs at WOT

My 07 REV has a mountain DJ clutch kit in it and was running like a champ last year. I have been riding my XP most of the season, but I decided to take my REV yesterday. The backshift is very strong and dang near throws me over the handle bars when I let off the throttle. But on the flipside, when I try to climb a hill or fly across a flat meadow at WOT, the RPMs get up to about 8000 and then fall off to 7000 after about 5 seconds. After that it either holds at 7000 RPM or else when climbing the hill, just slowly loses RPMs until I can't hardly continue climbing. Its almost as if the clutch isn't allowing the gears to backshift on WOT to keep the RPMs up during the climb. But then on the way back down the hill, let off the throttle and the backshift is very strong. I've cleaned the clutches, checked the springs, rollers, buttons, clickers (its on 3) etc and everything appears to be in good working order. ANY IDEAS???
 
Sounds like a RAVE problem to me, especially if no broken primary spring and was running fine last season. Clean them up; probably gummed up and sticking or you have a loose hose to the RAVES.

Have FUN!
