I think this is my clutch but im just making sure my tranny isn't screwed. When driving in 1-3 it accelerates fine but when i shift into 4th it sounds like its trying to go but it accelerates really slow. Is this the clutch slipping or is my tranny done. i hope its just the clutch because my clutch and fly just came today thanks

 

sounds like the tranny......the clutch would be consistent throughout the gears

 

that sucks, only got 80k on the tranny, well new clutch is going in on monday we'll see what happens, it only happens if im in low rpm in 4th gear, if im on it in 4th it accelerates fine, like shifting into 4th at a high RPM the clutch slips but then accelerates fine, before this started it smelled like i was riding the clutch for like 20 miles when i was on a highway not even using the clutch almost like it was stuck on?maybe changin my tranny oil will help some? maybe go with some synchromesh....i dont know, thanks for the help in advance tho

clutch took a ****. just replace it and should fix your problem.

 

thanks alot man, was really worried there this is what my friend told me but I didn't believe me.

 

even if you werent riding the clutch, if the clutch goes you should have that nice burt smell If your tranny were shot, if you put it in gear, and the stick jumps back out at you then synchro's are dust. if you cant get into any gear, its clutch. if you mash on the gas pedal, and it slips its clutch. Usally you can feel it slip at the very beginning of first gear, that means shes goin.

 

yea its been slipping for i'd say 3 weeks now and then i just smelled the horrible clutch smell and it got worse until i stopped. I can still get it into gears but it doesnt seem like its totally engaging at all like always slipping, i guess i shouldnt drive the car much because it will probaly totally die soon? The new clutch goes in monday with my flywheel so i can be without the lude til then i guess.
