Weird Problem

[Talonman86096]

Ok so I dont know really how to explain this but sometimes when im going around a turn and im like coming out of it and push on the gas my car seems to not want to go like you can hear it and feel it it like revs and like pulls you forward but doesnt go anywhere and then it will just like catch or something and it will go fine.....It seems to only happen when im deaccelerating like taking a turn and then trying to go when im outta the turn...during normal just driving it runs fine it doesnt do it at all. Any help would be appreciated....thanks

Does it seem like your clutch is sticking when you take a turn, if so thats an infamous sign of the dreaded crankwalk

"It can be difficult to tell if a particular car is experiencing crankwalk. Symptoms are usually indirect and difficult to diagnose until major damage occurs.

Since the clutch places pressure on the crankshaft, many owners have reported clutch or shifting problems associated with the walking crank. Having the clutch 'stick' down on left-hand turns is often a telltale sign of crankwalk. Other symptoms include inconsistent engagement height, poor or rough engagement, difficulty shifting, ticking noises and varying pedal height or pressure. Another possibility is having the engine RPM decrease significantly when the clutch pedal is down." straight from vfaqs

Sounds like the typical slush-O-matic symptom.. I hate my new Talon now after driving with the Slush-O-Matic..... Be nice when I can afford the sequential setup...

Sounds like you need to check the transmission fluid. Assuming it's an auto.

It doesnt feel like the clutch is sticking at all and it usually happens when im making a right turn not a left but yesterday it also did it when i was just like crusing along for like the first time ever.
