Its a 6pd ,so whenever i accelerate the engine would rev up but the car would not speed up to match the rpm. So like i'm on the freeway in 6th gear, I'll apply the gas, the rpm would hit up to 3-4k but the vehicle would slowly climb up. This i freaking me out, I'm hoping its no the tranny. The car has 75k miles so the warranty on the tranny is gone.PLEASE HELP!

 

your clutch is toast. start there.

 

yep........your clutch is slipping...

to test your clutch, just go down an open road at about 25mph, get into 4th gear and accelerate, if the rpms rise and the car doesnt "catch" and accelerate then your clutch is slipping...

from your description, thats really spot on for a clutch slipping!...

being that your clutch is already doing this now so much, you will need a new clutch kit..

Trans is fine, clutch is wasted

 

thanks guys appreciate your help.you guys are awesome, I just recently got the car. so im guessing the previous owns did some damage. I can afford a Clutch Kit, But not a tranny haha.

 

There are plenty of flywheel- clutch combinations that will suit your needs.

 

i tried the open road thing, when i hit pass 4k rpm in 4th gear. I start to feel it catch and the car speeds up. So what does it mean now?

 

Well from my understanding, if it slowly rises compared to what it should be accelerating at then its toasted. My was slipping clutch as like that. I kept driving it and my clutch literally slipped all the way where it stopped engaging. The slipping where the clutch was able to grab and accelerate kept getting worst.

 

It means that the clutch friction surface is not holding the flywheel.

 

^ ya....its not "completely" gone yet...but its on its last straw...

i say park it and do the install.........because its gonna be messy in there.....wear mask and gloves, etc.......or have a shop do it..
