hey guys,

i think my clutch is going....can't be sure though. is there a way to tell? can i do sometrhing to test the integrity of the clutch?

someone told me to put it in 4th..bring it to 2500 rpm and punch it...if i go nowhere quickly and the rpms shoot, that means my clutch is going.

wellll, this morning i put it in 4th, had it at like 2300 rpms and gave it a quick shot (i was in traffic, but really wanted to know)... it gave a little chirp before i let off...does that mean im screwed? lol

i dont hear any chirping in any of the lower gears though on normal driving...but i feel as though when i want to get going sometimes, it feels stalled....when im in 2nd or 3rd and punch it, ill accelerate well, then it seems as though i lose traction and momentum for a moment, then pick it up again....but i dont hear my tires, also, i dont hear the chirping.


what should i do to decipher whther or not it truly is my clutch?

thanks guys!

u put it in gear and smash the gas and ur rpms fly up but u go no where then eventually it grips and u start moving

****...and i dont need to hear my clutch chirping?

how can i tell if its the clutch and NOT my tires losing traction?

usually u can smell a clutch slipping.

Raven SS

do it from 5th to 3rd since u know u cant spin ur tires at that speed

ya, alright...taht sounds liek a plan...ill try it out in 4th tonight...ive never hammered it in 5th...never really even done it in 4th either lol..... what rpm do you think i should punch it from ? 3000 rpm?

i think he means cruise in 5th gear at Xmph then gear down to 3rd as if your racing or something.

really? i know ill accelerate like that without any problems.... because id already be up in the higher rpms by then
