Engine revving weird Options

[WH95TE]

Ok so lately my car has been revving weird. Whenim in 3rd-5th and cruising a long at say 2-3k rpms if I hit the gas the rpms jump up to 4-5k as if I had the clutch in, then they drop back down to about 3200 and drive normally. What could be wrong?

[cheeco]

sounds like the clutch is slipping, either its worn or has oil on it from a leaking seal. feel like the clutch pedal engages pretty high?

Your clutch isnt grabbing right. I had this problem when my clutch was worn. You need a new clutch.

It'll be just a matter of time when your car won't go anywhere no matter how hard you rev your engine.

Lame. But I guess this could be a good thing. Where are good places to get clutches and what should I get? Might aswell get a short shifter now too.

get an oem toyota disk.

[burneeed]

spec for aftermarket .......

You were in the same position I was back then. If you were to just replace it with OEM parts, its going to cost you like 500 dollars. That's how much it was for me from Firestone. They ordered the parts and installed it. Where as aftermarket clutch kit and labor installation fee is going to run you about 600-800 dollars. Unless... you can do it yourself which will save you a good 300-400 bucks. I suggest ACT street clutch kit or a Exedy clutch kit. If you are more into racing only, then go after Stage 2 and 3's. But a warning, puck clutch kits are uncomfortable driving daily compared to street discs. But they provide better torque to wheels becuz of it's racing purposes. I mean, think of it this way... if there is a traffic jam on the road, you will have to wait for the car ahead of you to move up like 3 cars before you can even gas to go becuz you will most likely be launching forward pretty far up. You might as well buy a new lightened flywheel while you are at it which will run you from 250-400 dollars depending on the brand you get. Fidanza and Clutchmaster and as well as Exedy makes lightened flywheels for our cars. Yes... this is alot of money to spend when it comes to the transmission. Hahahaha. YOu are actually looking at a close estimate ranging around 1000-1200+ dollars of spending.

I am looking for something more performance and don't have to worry about installation fees as I can get that done for free. Still quite a bit of money though. Thanks

keep in mind, the higher stage you go, your sacrificing the longetivity of the clutch. as in, its going to wear out faster. Nothing last as long as oem clutches.

Ok wel I was driving around today and it wasn't doing it when I first started driving. Only after I had been driving for around 30+ mins.

My first celica had this problem, I ended up destroying the disc with highrevs it was nice. Luckily it wasnt a surprised and I already had the replacement disc just waiting in the garage. This just gave me a reason to do it.

[WH95TE]

So is there anything else I should get other then a new clutch, lightened flywheel and short shifter?

[WH95TE]

So I think the problem got worse. I was driving today, babying it and well my car idles under 1k rpm and feels like it could stall anytime. It even shakes when im in 2nd and 3rd gear.

DONT GO HIGHER THAN STAGE ONE. Unless you modify your flywheel and Crankshaft. I ****ed up the whole lower end of my motor with a Stage 2 clutch. The clamp force is way too high for stock or lightly modified engines. Try Gripforce.com they have cool stuff

Clamp force has nothign to do with the engine other thatn it can hold more power before slipping, and creates a heavier pedal in most instances.


It is the pressure the PPA springs or spring disc exerts on the clutch to the flywheel.

Also, if you opt out of the new flywheel, get the disk sooner rather than later, because the longer you go like that, the more screwed up your FW surface will get.

becasue the disk got hot.
