Tranny Question

So I just got in my car to drive, and I have lost power in first and reverse. I have to rev my car to 7k rpm just to get it moving to a whopping 3 miles/hour. I have also lost some of the stiffness in the clutch as well. I am thing pressure plate? Any advice would be appreciated.

as he said, and with that pp and clutch combo. my bet would be a bad installation. pp bolts backed off? how many miles since the pp install?


this sounds ugly..

so you are saying that you cannot get the car to move in first or rev?

but can start in second and everything is fine?

oh, sorry for the late response not my night. I went to go get diner at Chipotle and got run over my a vw jetta. I was in a cross walk at an intersection, she slowed down for me but tried to roll the intersection and her timing was off so she hit me. Knocked me on her hood. I am fine, it was at low speeds below 10 mph.

no, b/c I was not hurt and she was going pretty slow. I was fine and left with out getting information no hard feelings, then. When I got home found out the bitch made me bust open my chipotle burrito. Just not right eating a burrito with a fork. If all I have to worry about is a busted burrito I a, alright.
