I'm having what I think is a clutch problem and am wondering if anyone in the San Francisco area (I live in the City) would be able to meet with me and help me diagnose the problem.

This thread describes what is going on:

Thanks much.

 

SF? I guess your closest bet would be AHQ, otherwise you have Speed Element, GST, and LIC...

 

Being in SF, I think he might be closer to LIC. They'll figure it out for sure.

 

you say the rpms lower then come back on?

if your clutch was slipping, they'd rise, then drop as the tachometer measures how fast the engine is spinning, not how fast the gears are spinning.

edit: then again, maybe you're not realizing exactly how fast the RPMs are climbing until they drop to normal when you're on it.

 

I spoke to OP earlier in the week and said the same thing.

and offered our diagnostic service

Got an appointment with Noah at LIC on Friday, but was looking for someone closer so I don't have to hike my *** all the way up to Novato.

 

Noah, you rock. see you on Friday.

 

Let me know if you figure it out in the meantime and need to cancel...otherwise see you friday

man i wish i lived in the bay area still to utilize all you good shops.

 

Try Auto Dynamik in SF:

But if you feel that your clutch is slipping, see if the car will die as it's in first gear and you let the clutch out slowly. If it slips and doesn't die, then your clutch is going bad. For most clutch repairs, the flywheel may or may not need replacing and that's what could double your repair cost.

 

Thanks Noah for all the help. I'll be calling in a few months after I ***** out my girlfriend to pay for the new clutch.

big props to LIC motorsports.

 

Glad to help and let me know where the gf will be so we can get in on the action, LOL

see you soon buddy!
