i can start the car, but only with the clutch pedal to the floor.the clutch can go in 1’st and when i accelerate it takes atleast a minute to get to 10MPH, and it mostly rev’s alot without even moving the car.any help is greatly appriciated.
Have you tried adjusting your clutch? Do you know where the clutch adjustment is? If not, look in your engine bay, to the RIGHT of the battery you will see a black plastic adjustment nut next to the radiator hose (bit fat hose). The nut will be quite a ways down there. Try backing the nut off a ways, pump the clutch pedal, and see how much play there is in the RELEASE ARM (black arm under the adjustment nut.) There should be only 5/32"- 13/64" of freeplay in the release arm. Keep adjusting the nut until you get the desired effect.
i just went outside to adjust the clutch cable to see if it was that, well with my luck, it wasn’t.i can put the car into gear and let off the clutch and accelerator pedal and it doesnt stall.what does this mean? i dont understand how it can go from slipping just a little to nothing at all.
Originally posted by phat ac is the clutch pedal sopposed to feel really loose and goto the floor when you clutch goes?
The Clutch should feel like the gas pedal. It shouldn’t travel to the floor quite easily. You do however have to press the clutch to the floor when starting the car. You have a weird problem there coz’ you put the stick in gear and got no response. You should at least stall and hear a grind.
It sounds like you’ll have to take the tranny apart to take a look.
