I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Feels like clutch is slipping but its not??

Post by zach1288 » May 08, 2007

First i have to say that this problem is intermittent. But when it does happen it feels like my clutch is slipping but its not because i can rev it up to 8k and shift and it grabs like mofo. It seems to only happen between 1-3 or 4k once i go higher than that its fine? Have any ideas what i should check?

it still may be your clutch slipping, just the early signs of a burnt clutch. try this:

at idle, with the E-brake pulled, no obstructions in front of you, and the clutch pedal fully depressed, ...put the car into 4th gear and let the clutch out all at once. The engine should stall immediately without hesitation. if it turns over once or twice before stopping your clutch may need replaced.

I cant really tell but it seems to stall instantly when letting the clutch out slowly. Or do you just snap the clutch?
