My car is rarely seen on the road lately because of my bad coolant seals. I drove it the other day and I think that the clutch is slipping . It will rev up but take a second to "catch up or ingauge" as you will. Is that what a slipping clutch feels like ? I never actually had one go bad on me like that. I 've had them get shitty and not want to go in or out of gears. But never symptoms like this.

Thanks :(

Yep, good way to test is to go down the road in 3rd gear at appx. 3 rpm's and floor it. If it revs high and then lowers and then you feel the torque, then you've got a slipping clutch. <_<

Yes those are my symptoms.

No biggie really. I am pulling the motor soon anyway to rebuild and port so I'll just catch the clutch while I'm at it.

He was all puffy too. "hey Dave what happened man? I was all up on your bumper" I guess I had to have Blown coolant seals , a clogged stock cat and a slipping clutch for him to run up on me. If it makes him feel better. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png
