Re: 5sp ??

In 1st and 2nd, the RPMs go high but the speed barely increases...it shifts fine but not sure how its suppose to drive. Idk if that makes sense lol it doesn't pull like i thought it would I guess....

Re: 5sp ??

Did you put a new clutch in? what did you use? Sounds more like a badly slipping clutch. Might be out of adjustment as well...

Re: 5sp ??

Exactly what I thought so I put a new clutch in on Sat. It's an ACT and the flywheel looked perfect. SO Idk what the problem is. Pedal feels fine....

Re: 5sp ??

It may not have any clearance between the throw out and the pressure plate. Check the throw out fork to see if there is some freeplay.
