ok ok im new to rsx world just bought the car and now its giving me problems and i dont know exactly what it is lol....

i thought it was the clutch going out but i really dont think it is because the car takes off just fine and i can still chirp tires with 2nd and 3rd if i wanted so if it was the clutch i dont think that would be possible right??
but anyways if your just around town low rpm driving it slips, until about a bit past 4grand... and interstate driving it slips low rpms.
the rpms with shoot up then slight back down and your really not gaining speed..

please guru's if u know or need more info on pinpointing this let me know or ask away.... besides that i love my car lol

 

Have you checked the fluid level?

 

Check fluids and vaccum leaks. Or just a dirty t/b?

 

i did put a intake cone at the end of my stock oem tube... so i have the short breather out of valve cover just sitting there??

 

Check spark plugs,wires, and fluids .

 

Ok first, please tell us your car and mods. That will help.

Second I changed your thread title because yours drives me nuts and this will help with results.

Third, how does your pedal feel? Soft, firm etc? Can you smell a burning clutch smell? If you do a low RPM low gear pull does the RPM go up faster than the MPH?

 

02 type s and Its all stock but I put a cone filter on the end of the intake tube where the airbox goes.
Pedal feels soft but not too soft I guess and yes low rpm pulls the rpms go up faster than speed only low rpms tho

 

U think its cuz of taking the stock airbox off and ghetto rigging it? More
I think about it, kinda seems like a lag not slipping

 

I would try turning th a/c on and then from a stop take off like normal and check to see if it slips . The a/c will add a little more strain on the clutch. It could possibly be the master cylinder.

 

good enough for me sounds like a clutch starting to go bad. Take off the inspection plate and see how much clutch dirt is in there and take a look... but you probably wouldn't know what you're looking for...

 

U need a clutch

 

i would love to hear an update, and you said its fine in 1st and 2nd? is it still?

my clutch it totally gone, been replaced since, and its like brand new now...
