NEED HELP!!! Got a HUGE problem...

***fuller083*** · 04-10-2007, 10:35 PM

I was driving to practice when I noticed it about 2 hours ago. I put it in 6th gear cruising at 55mph and hit the gas just a little bit and noticed the tach climb really quickly to around 4.5 - 5k... Now, I know normally that in 6th gear at 5000 rpm the car should be doing around higher than 120.... But for some reason mine can do it at 55mph.... WTF!?!?!

Sorry the videos are such shitty quality, but my phone is the only camera I had at the moment.... Pleas help and give as much advice as you possibly can... Thanks!!!!

sounds like your clutch is about gone,,,,does it smell after doing that for a while??

TJ213 · 04-10-2007, 10:52 PM

+1, sounds like its time for a new clutch

honda06si · 04-10-2007, 10:54 PM

wow thats not normal....but for some reason it doesnt seem like the clutch....

i dont know i guess it would have to be the clutch

***fuller083*** · 04-10-2007, 10:54 PM

It does smell like burnt clutch when I do it, but I wasn't sure if that was it. Thanks for confirming my beliefs...

lit420_si · 04-10-2007, 10:55 PM

***fuller083*** · 04-10-2007, 10:57 PM

Now the next problem: Where would I get a new one??? Other than a stock one? I think I want a little better one...

***fuller083*** · 04-10-2007, 10:58 PM

27,630 miles.... I haven't tried to take off any since I've noticed it, I don't want to destroy anything else.

Yes... And???

**Yodums** · 04-10-2007, 11:07 PM

Have you put a lot of abuse on the clutch - track use, power shifting, etc?
