Question? When i was driving home from work this morning i accelerated but the rpms went up and the car just rolled the the same speed i was going before i shifted. I engaged the clutch and re-disengaged the clutch and the car acceleratd as usual. Also i have noticed that my clutch engages just before the peddle is all the way out. Does this mean my clutch is going out :banghead: or just needs to be adjusted? I only have 15,000 miles on the car. Does n e body know?

Have you noticed any glitter around the transmission housing? That's a sure sign your clutch is going out to clubs without your knowledge.

15k miles is a very short time for a clutch to go out unless you're doing something wrong or something's broken.

Thanks for the info. My wife has the car right, hopefully not related, now but i'll check when she gets back.
