Ok I was driving home tonight and my car would rev up but take a min to speed up...the rpms would jump...then they would go back down and then i would take off a bit...it did that really bad right before i got to my house and i smelt something that smelt like clutch and brakes...is this my tranny? bc i coasted the rest of the way home and it was hard to get it into 2nd when i got into my driveway...Any help would defantly help

 

auto or manual?

If it is manual, you are looking at a new clutch is my guess...

 

sounds like a new clutch is on the way, and the 2nd gear thing might be the sign of needing a rebuilt tranny in the future.

 

its a 6 speed...i think it was leaking transmission fluid a while back but im not sure

 

Has anyone else had problems out of their tranny?

 

wouldnt say its your tranny..sounds more like clutch mang

 

Sorry im kinda ignorant when it comes to a stick bc ive been driving a trip bmw for 3 years. So when im just crusing and give it gas the rpms jump and then slide back down then it starts to pick up. Im having a big ordeal with the dealership I bought the car from. I got a warranty with it but they are being dumbass's about it and are telling me they sent it into the warranty company but then i call the warranty company and they tell me that they havnt gotten it yet. In the meantime I cant drive the car bc its doing this so bad. I drove it about 100 ft up the road and back and when i got back to the house it smelt like i had burned the hell out of the clutch and it smelt like i was burning brakes too. So yall think it is the clutch and that I will need to replace it?

 

more than likely... I did the same thing back when i had my old ford probe.. id give it gas and it would just rev....while the clutch is basically spinning trying to engage....

 

yeah, I agree with them...Definitely a slipping clutch. I've had the same thing happen to me before as well.

 

Ok well my uncle and I came up with this. I have an oil leak and its leaking from the back of the engine...the main seal from the tranny to the engine...and the oil is leaking onto my clutch. So monday I am taking into the shop. I am going to have to pay for a new clutch, bc that isnt covered under warranty...but the rest I should have under warranty, if anyone was wondering i got it sorted out and they are sending me money for a rental car untill my car comes out of the shop. and my warranty goes into effect on monday, if anyone is interested. And thanks for all the advice
