so here's my dilemma. recently my clutch (i think, i'm sure) has been slowly going out on me. when i let off the clutch and smash the gas, i get all engine and no go, 5k rpms in first, and i'm doing 0-15k in about 10 seconds, if i don't have a hill to climb.
oh, and i just figured out today, that it's kinda like the clutch isn't seating all the way. you know what it's like when you let out just a little bit on the clutch, looking for the engine to grab, so you can creep up to the stop line, or to get a start going up a hill? well, mine's doing that when i take my foot off the clutch and my foot off the break, not even touching the accelerator. could it be that i just need to bleed my clutch line, or is my clutch just that shot? and, when i do replace the clutch and pressure plate, does the flywheel need replaced too, or only if it can't be smoothed out? thanks for the help -------------------- ~Andy
