RPM is Rev'ing up high when accelerate
This is recent, when I switch gears and accelerate (step on gas pedal) the rpm jumps up to 3 or sometimes 4 rpm and then comes back down where it is suppose to be. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? I do not want to take it to the dealership because they do not know what is wrong.

Sounds kind of like a slipping clutch. Could you describe a little more? When the RPM's jump does the car accelerate as well or does it shoot up and then the car has to catch up to that RPM?
|
Exactly... that is what is going on. The RPM jumps up and the car does not accelerate. I have to wait until the RPM slowly goes down and then the car will accelerate.
|
You need a new clutch.
|
Thank you all for helping me out.. i just wanted to see what the problem is. because the dealership is trying to charge me a grip when they don't know what is wrong.
|
I would take it to a different dealer if your current one can't diagnose a slipping clutch. :(
|
If you want to diagnose without a doubt, sidestep the clutch at like 5K, lol.
|
What is the best clutch to go with? Including the flywheel and conversion kit
|
I got a JWT lightweight clutch and flywheel, and no problems here...and that is exaclty what happened to mine before it went out....good luck....Mine was due to the shift fork pivot bolt breaking....
