1. Well buy a clutch, manual and jacks.

2. Do it yourself okay

Really its not the at hard. Look in the tech section for the install.

Yea, not very hard at all. I would take the clutch out first, and take it back to where ever you got it from and get your money back for it, or just have them swap it for another one. Then, once you have the new one, just pop it in, and be on your way. I think they just gave you a bad clutch is all.

I am thinking bad clutch, or you got it oily somehow, or your driving habits are too harsh for the clutch.

 

[theprojectDSM]

ok ty...i really ty for the help...

Did you have the flywheel resurfaced?

 

[talon94es]

Well what ended up happening? I've dumped tons of money into my car in brakes/rims/repairs etc in the last two months and now have this exact same problem. I'm thinking or hoping it's my clutch since I've never had it done but don't want to spend money on getting a new one if that's not the problem. Does anything else like spun bearings etc cause you to accelerate and not grip? Mine is really bad after taking it to the stereo shop today and getting speakers installed. I think the stereo shop might of tried a burn out or engaged the clutch wrong because after I got it back from them it's really bad! The clutch was kinda like that before so I didn't mention anything to the shop. Anyways, hope someone has closure on this guys issue. My cars also been making some strange sounds occasionally on top of everything else! It's getting me worried after all the money I've spent.

Make sure the master cylinder is adjusted properly.

ok ty...i really ty for the help...[listen to the guy who asked if you resurfaced your flyweel

A new clutch isn't going to slip like that if he's beating on it. He may have oil on the clutch? It could be impoperly resurfaced flywheel? Clutch not fully releasing? Bad hydraulic system?
