when the car get to drivin temp sometimes when i accelerate it the rpm goes but not the speed..it feels like the clutch is slippin but its not..its in gear and jus doesnt want to go..it will go but very slowly..any ideas..??would it be my clutch or tranny??anything would help..got a meet this weeken and wanna get it done..

 

sounds like your clutch

 

just like dc 5 says it sounds like a horrible clutch problem cause if it was ur tranny beleive me you would know. also while ur changing your clutch out change your rear main seal its behind the flywheel on the block around the crankshaft. make sure you have degreaser just incase it is your rear main seal and there is oil everywhere.

 

if the motor is accelorating, and the speed isnt, then its the mechanical link between the tranny and the motor, which would be your clutch.

 

so 3 for the clutch..if i was to change the clutch and the the main seal behind the flywheel it be okay??and the link between the tranny and motor??watchu mean by that..??what can i do for that if it aint the clutch after i change it??

 

He means the link from the motor to the tranny which is the clutch. The purpose of a clutch is to transfer the power from the motor to the transmission. If the clutch is slipping, it will not be able to transfer that power to the transmission to gain speed.

 

yeah i know..saw that when i read the post over after i post my last one..haha..but yeah if i change the clutch then everything would be back to normal correct??

 

CLUTCH,, like said above

 

CLUTCH IT IS

 

I know everyone else has said it already, but clutch = toast

 

to your clutch

 

Let us know once you get it fixed. It helps to know the conclusion of thread situations. Specially for searchers.

 

when u pull ur trans check 2 c if there is oil in there (there's supposed no oil casue the clutch has to stay dry) but change the seal any way while ur in there casue if ur car has over 100k more then likely no one has change it. u can tell if its bad cause the rubber will be hard well good luck be sure to torque things down 2 spec

 

yes i will...get back to HT dis weeken wen i get it done..

 

Check the simple things first:

- Re-fill/bleed the clutch system
- Replace the slave cylinder

My guess:

Sounds to me like your flywheel needs replacing though. Don't let a shop machine those down! Get a new one, a lightweight one. The reason i don't think it's you're clutch is because it isn't slipping. I'm pretty sure it's your flywheel.

EDIT: Also replace the seal, what's most likley happening is the seal is busted, spraying fluid everywhere inside the casing. If you pop it open and see this, replace both the seal and the flywheel. Might as wel replace the clutch while you're at it, but I don't believe that's your problem.
