Clutch problems?

[dkishton1486]

What are the signs on the clutch starting to go bad? When I drive when im going from furst to second when the clutch is in and I start letting it out it makes a funny noise also does it from second to third and from third to fourth any ideas?

alot of times when your clutch is going, youll start to feel really bad slipping, the pedal feels like most of the travel is just free travel and about an 1" or 2" of it is actual engagement, one easy way to tell is to put in 6th then hit long skinny go fast pedal real good and if the engine rpm's climb alot faster then the speed then your clutch is slipping and its time for a new one.

mine is slipping a little bit, RPM jumps in 5th gear on the freeway if i gas it.. about a 500rpm jump.

Pretty much what they said. When mine was going, I could put it in 5th or 6th and try to speed up, the rpm would go up but the speed stayed the same.

Maybe my clutch is hazed over?

if its slipping its because the clutch material is worn out, and whats left cant get a grip anymore because the flywheel, not clutch, is glazed over
