Ok, within 10 min of me driving the car (i only let it warm up for 20 seconds *as if it makes any difference* ) and i was on my normal straight drive to the highway ramp. Well, the temprature gauge was in middle meaning the car had been warmed up so as i was getting off the ramp to get onto the highway, I had been shifting at 3k like usual. Well, when I was in 3rd gear my RPM was at 3k then somehow jumped to 4k but i wasn't feeling a pull and then it lowered back to 3k... what does this mean??? clutch slipping?? The clutch was replaced 20k miles ago! Also, I remember having a similar problem like this before... yesterday and a month ago. I never paid real attention to it till now. I tried to reproduce it on the highway but no luck. Any ideas?

BTW- my tranny does have the differential bearings problem as well as a vibrating shifter (makes that annoying rattling sound). Could this be related somehow? Also, if you have any ideas on how to fix the rattling, I'd greatly appreciate any advice! Thanks

 

sound like your clutch is going..

best way to find out is to be at 3000 rpms and just floor it.. then it will delay and then go. this is the last stages of the clutch

 

alksdfj;aklfdas i really hope the clutch isn't goin, the previous owner (my cousin) said he replaced the clutch recently! Thanks for thea advice sprint, i'll check it out at lunch time.
