i have been told i need to replace my clutch soon. that was a month ago. tonight i left my girlfriends house and i am freaking out. i use my car for my job so i cant be out a car. when i accelerate the engine revs higher and i know for a fact that my car should be going faster then i shift to second and it revs louder then calms down to match my speed. same thing through all gears. i have an spi anyone help me out? i have had my fuel pump fuel sensor motor mount water pump replaced just to help with a decision....if its the clutch can you paste a link to buy one for a good price...

It's either the clutch slipping of the trans.
Get it checked out as soon as you can...

Yea it sounds like the clutch to me also, how many miles are on the car?

 

[sparbanie]

yea it does sound like the clutch but i dont think milage is going to matter if you burn the clutch out. you do that in days.

 

[focusin]

Well you can determine if its premature ware by the milage. There might be other issues involved if its going out to soon, the rest of the tranny might be causing it to happen you just cant tell.

 

[sparbanie]

True very true. he should definately get it checked out though. if he does need a new clutch what is a good clutch to get. As because mine is need of attention.

Well the only clutches available fot the IB5 tranny are sold by Mcnews Automotive last time I checked.

Other than that, stock.

 

[illusionsoflife]

[illusionsoflife]

[sparbanie]

[focusin]
