car runnin like a piece of f-in sht

as of lately i am very dissapointed in my car. it runs like an american car (piece of crap). The engine clicks really loud like it needs oil, but it doesnt. my transmission slips between 2nd and 3rd gear. once it gets to the end of 2nd gear, it revs really high and i have to take my foot off the gas to get it to shift. any suggestions?

sounds like you're low on tranny fluid.. if not, then it's time for a rebuild.

the engine has VTC problems most likely. ground the vtcs, and run a quart of Marvel Mystery oil for about 1000 miles in the engine then change the oil. should help get rid of the valve clatter.
