My car started doing something weird the other day. 1st and 2nd gear wasn't noticeable, but 3rd 4th and 5th year was very noticeable. If I just cruise at 45mph at around 2.5rpm and just step on the gas I feel a small jerk of acceleration and my RPMs jump up like i'm revving the car but its not catching it. I explained this to a couple of people and they guessed it's the clutch. Ever since then i can feel it in 1st and 2nd gear too, its like when I accelerate not all of it is transfered to the tires. I figure that you guys would probably know this car better, so what do you think?

 

Sure does sound like it. Does it give off a burnt smell?

 

I don't think I have noticed a burning smell however I have smelt something burning once or twice before I ever had this problem. Never a regular thing tho.

 

You wont smell anything. But it is your clutch going out.

 

+2 for clutch dying.

 

My clutch smells like a dead skunk when i hit boost in 4th. I hate it.

 

Well then I guess its good I have Been looking for a clutch for 2 days. I need advice on how to go. So far centerforce "looks" lake its the higher quality choice to go with but are there any cheaper and just as reliable clutches out there?

What about stages? I still have to get an intake and exaust and plan on getting a turbo eventually. What would be the best choice to go with looking at this? Will the be a problem with the superior clutch and stock transmission?

 

All centerforce clutches are close to stock. They are perfect for vehicles with basic upgrades and even stock boost.

 

Will I be okay with a centerforce dual frictions? It says "Highly Recommended For Use With Engines Producing High Horsepower And Big Torque Output, Specifically Engineered To Deliver The Ultimate In Street Or Strip Holding Power And Performance" but my car is stills stock. I was reading something on another forum and this guy was saying that if you get a clutch that is too strong you can snap your transmission, so that has me a little paranoid about spending money on the wrong thing. I can feel my clutch getting worse and worse so I gotta order this thing!!
