So I was driving one night and accidently shift from 5th to 3rd by accident when I was trying to switch to 6th.. and realized I killed my cluch during the process... now I smell a horrible burnt clutch smell at times... I also realized there is a lag when on my RPM around 2500RPM (I would shift to higher gear and when it reaches to about 2500 -2700 RPM it lags a bit -idle-). I am not sure what is wrong. Is this a transmission or clutch issue? Or is it something else that could have caused the RPM do to that...

Help please

 

How do you possibly shift into 3rd when trying to shift to 6th they are not even close to the same pattern...
5th-6th-straight down
5th-3rd-down-left-up

 

I was wondering the same thing.. must have been a brain fart, thinking 6th, but somehow just went to 3rd.

 

how many miles on your car?

 

if you clutch is fading, you will notice as soon as you floor it going up hill in a higher gear, say 5th doing 50 mph. You will notice that the RPM's will increase but the speed won't. This is because the clutch is slipping.

 

it's probably the clutch, if it was the trans you would know. Maybe he means 2nd because going into 4th would not of been that bad.

 

any grid when getting into gear or pop out from gear??

 

sorry I did mean 2nd... brain fart when I was at work...

 

I do notice the lag when i was in 4th/5th/6th especially tonight... lag to much i felt the RPM drop a bit while pushing it... how much longer until I have to get a new clutch and what is the cost of new clutch/install?

Thanks!

 

probably looking at a thousand bucks minimum from what i've heard.

 

clutch and while at it, LWFW too.
install here is $300 bucks for both FW and clutch.
so parts around 600~700 for not a bad one and 300 for install.

 

So i took it to a shop and they say its probably transmission also. The thing is I want a 2nd opinion at another shop.

Every gear seems to engage slowly. For example, if im at first, my RPM will go up but my speed will not. Very hard for me to accelerate when shifting into gear.

I do not want to spend an arm or a leg for a new transmission if that is the case and also the clutch will probably expensive to begin with so I need to diagnosis this correclt.y

Thanks for any feedback.
