It's pretty wierd, I've never experienced anything like this on any of my cars. Just like the title says, when ever I try to gain speed to get out of tight spots or just trying to get on the highway, my rpms jump up then come down to the specific rpm. It's really annoying because I don't start gaining speed until after the rpms jump and come back down. So there is a second or two of lag before I start accelerating.

FYI I do have a CEL light for my rear 02 sensor but I don't think that would be the problem for the engine to do this.

If there is anybody that could give me any suggestions to what this might be, please reply...

Thanks

 

clutch is slipping

 

...and you're correct, the rear o2 sensor CEL will not cause this problem.

 

crap so it is clutch...great. Thanks

 

yuppers u need a new clutch liek already said

 

Do not replace with the stock Nissan Clutch. POS. I did when I bought the car before finding the .org and the thing engages like crap and is junk.

 

i was waiting for the 5th gen clutch suggestion

 

5th gen clutch is pretty good, thats what i have. if you get the 5th gen clutch though, stay away from the key value clutches; key value = garbage.

also ive heard good things about the ACT stage 1 clutch, but i can only speak from experience about the 5th gen.

 

Mine was doing the same thing, so i replaced it. I now have an exedy stage 1, and i love it , with a fidanza flywheel.

 

ACT stage 1. Over 60k on it with a lot of city driving and still drives AWESOME.

 

hes right, OEM replacement=****. ive blown 3 of them in about 6 months. go with an ACT. great clutches

 

I agree, I had an OEM put back in last dec. a waste of time /money it slips alot and really does a good job at making my car perform like crap, as soon as i can aford an upgrade im going for it

 

Exedy Stage 2, Fidanza flywheel good stuff

 

I have an automatic transmission with the same problem. I am new to this so is there a way to fix the automatic? Sorry for my ineptitude.

 

i wouldnt floor it very often until you get a new clutch...your gonna want to baby this clutch so that it lasts long enough for you to get a new clutch

 

ACT HDSS gets my vote...held up to massive abuse in my 96...

 

stock clutches are work well.....the org has had many stories of act's messing up transmissions. just go stock 5th gen or even stock 4th gen clutches, they are great clutches

 

anyone who says the OEM nissan clutch is garbage either didnt break in their clutch, cant drive properly, or got a key value instead of an OEM. There is nothing wrong with the OEM clutches, the provide more than enough grip needed for an n/a max. all those aftermarket clutches are overkill and a waste of money unless you are boosted.
