i've been noticing that lately my 1.8 has been reving high before it kicks in and accelerates. itsa manual and im not holding in the clutch.
after i shift, say into second, and release the clutch and give it gas it will rev up and then go back down and slowly start to accelerate.

anybody got any ideas as to whats going on?
thanks

 

Your clutch may be slipping.

 

thats what i was thinking. i recently installed a short shifter but i dont think thats the problem.

 

huray for clutch slippage. it'll be sweet soon you'll be crusin at like 3k rpms and all of a sudden it will go up to 5k and then drop back down without you doin anyything. and you'll be like WTF!!! huray

 

yea its already doing that. and when im stopped and i start in 1st gear i can't accelerate. it sucks.

so what are my options now, give all my money away to get a new clutch?

 

well you can't fix the one you've got and for the money to get an OE one i would suggest upgrade it

 

got any suggestions?

 

they have a pretty decent priced OE one. I'm not sure if this is everything you need cause im not that great with clutches
