hey guys. i have a problem. it is hard to take off when i am in a complete stop. i would put it in first gear and my car would take FOREVER just to take off. by the time i get to the other side of the stop light, i am going only 20mph. also, when i try to speed up just a tiny little bit, my car over revs. i dont know why this is happening. someone please please pleeeasse help me i tryed to get it figured out at firestone but they want to charge me a $120 fee just to check it out. not even fix it. let me know asap pretty please.

 

manual or automatic? sounds like your clutch its slipping, you need to replace the clutch to fix it.

clutch slipping?

 

yea your clutch is burnt out just buy a new one from the junk-yard or from a parts store.

 

okay. so it has nothing to due with my tranny? thats the only thing i was really scared about is replacing my tranny

 

doesnt sound like it.. most likely the clutch.. the symptoms would only make sense from a tranny standpoint if a gear had almost no spline left.. any metal shards in the gearbox fluid? even then it is verry farfetched.. replace clutch you should be fine!

 

no metal. yay that just took a big weight off my shoulders. THANKS GUYS

 

replacing a clutch is a little better than finding out your trans is ****ed huh. lol. i've had my share of messed up transmissions...it blows thats for sure.

 

do you know how much a new clutch would be?
