so i was heading to town tonight and noticed as i was getting on the likelike (from the kaneohe side) when i shifted to 5th gear my rpm would hit 3K than it would drop down to 2500 and continue to climb again. After i noticed it i shifted to fourth and back to fifth and the same thing happened. I had been driving for no more than 5-10 minutes. so i drove the entire likelike turned around and tried to make it happen again on the way home but couldn't. any ideas on whats wrong? I have a 2000 impreza rs with a manual transmission. The only mods i have is an intake. I have about 60K on the motor.

 

Your clutch is going...

 

Clutch slipping?

 

damn, you beat me to it.

 

thanks for the quick reply, my next question is, where is a good place to get it changed..keep in mind i'm a student on a limited budget. I live in kaneohe.

 

Try to be easy on your clutch, don't jump on it or accelerate hard, that way it will last while you are saving/searching for a clutch /flywheel.

Once it goes it goes, mine went and I had to rev the **** out of it to get it on the trailer. Man it was stinky...

 

I went to LS Automotive in Waipahu. I know its far for you but they are pretty good. Tell them Ryan sent you down there. 8086761110

 

my friend sean works there. i hear they do good work.

 

Yup they really took care of my car while it was there. It took a while, mostly because we were waiting for parts which was my fault, but if you have it all together its an easy job.

 

got any suggestions on what kind of clutches and flywheels? i use this vehicle as a daily driver and don't abuse it cause it cost too much to fix if i break something.

 

^^^if u are daily driving the car just stick with the stock one(oem)
