RPM's shooting up when giving a little gas. LOOK

[red98gst]

I know the title sounded stupid.

Ok,I noticed lately when im driving and i give it gas and i start to boost, the RPM's shoot up like im spinning, but im not. Now, I do have a tire with kinda low air pressure but when i go into town tonight im going to fill it up, you think this might be the problem?

could be a slipping clutch or tranny if youare automatic

Im pretty sure that is a slipping clutch.

I recently adjusted my clutch pedal pressure, you think that may have something to do with it? It didnt start till after i did that

My clutch did that before it went, have it checked out before you end up driving to the garage at 15 mph in 1st gear at 5500 rpms like I was! the pedal adjustment should have nothing to do with it.

I just had a new clutch disk installed last month. during the summer last year i had an ACT 2600 kit installed. the new disk is the ACT one

also it doesnt do this all the time. now it seems like soon as i start getting on it, it starts

You said you just recently adjusted your clutch pedal. Have you possibly adjusted it to the point that the clutch doesn't completely engage the flywheel.? (I did it on mine too, I was trying to get the pedal pressure more firm, but I had the slippage problem.) Try adjusting the pedal to make it engage closer to the floor(Not right off the floor, but closer)

Also, where does the clutch pedal start to engage and then fully engage? i.e. How much play between the floor and engagement, and then from the pedal being all the way out and engagement.

My guess is that there is probably little to no freeplay at the fully extended position.

well about less than half way pushing in the pedal the clutch starts to engage. you think adjusting it lower would help?

You've confused me. Let me figure this out quick..

When you are in gear, and you go to shift to the next gear. As you are pushing the pedal in, you have to push it halfway to the floor to get it to disengage.?

How far from the top of the pedal travel does it engage/disengage.?

You've adjusted your pedal down so that it's halfway disengaging the clutch. Put it back where it was.

well my clutch fork broke today(ive been told what this pic is of), maybe that was the problem the whole time, i dont know much about this kinda stuff

That came off of your bellhousing.? Guess it's time to pull the transmission.
