I doubt it, if his clutch was slipping his RMPs would go high and his speed would stay the same.

I am thinking just a stuck tach or something. If the car continues to accellerate then it can't really be the tranny, can it?

 

right.

I got myself confused cause I was thinking back to an article I read about the tranny they put in the VX I think. the 1 speed belt type or something. the article said that it felt weird cause it seemed like it was a slipping clutch under acceleration or something. I'll also blame it on me being tired. lol

 

wait, when you're in 4th, and you floor it, and it gets to 2500 RPMs, is ur speedo still going up (are you going faster) and your tach staying where it is, or is the engine not going past 2500 RPMs in 4th (the car's not accelerating at all, speedo's at the exact same speed as it was 10 minutes ago with it floored)

 

i had the same problem with my 93 cx the problem was the dumbass who did the valve job on it forgot to put the seals in it, so it clogged the cat and it got fucked up so i doubt that ur cat is clogged but thats just what happened to me

 

I don't see how the rpm's could stay steady and the car still accelerate in a manual, unless its just a bad sensor/tach.

 

Let's see. The CX has monster gearing, so in 5th gear at 2500mph you're going...well over 100mph right?

The thing has like 12hp. What the expletive do you expect? It will slowly go faster, but the RPM won't go up to your eyes because at that speed it would take 1400hp to get it to redline.

 

similar thing happend to me, so i cheked the code it was throwind and it ended up beign that my car was running lean, so i went to autozone and i picked up so fuel system cleaner for like 15 bucks and one hour later i was vroom vroooming down the ghetto streets of tustin!!!!

 

i had the same problem but in every gear. it turned out to be the dizzy. i forget which part malfunctioned. After i put the new one in she ran fine.

 

check the codes on the engine.

 

Id check grounds..same problem with my buddies GSR hatch..its was a loose ground..
