Hi All,
A few weeks ago was driving the D on the usual weekend warmup drive.
Noticed that with I was in 4th or 5th at about 50mph, would accelerate and rpms would go up for a second, before transmission caught on. I'm thinking my clutch is slipping.
Car is an 81 with 35k original miles. That being said, does the material the clutch is made of go bad with simply age to cause this slight slipping problem? I've never touched the transmission on this car, or clutch for that matter. Previous owner I know did a tranny fluid change probably around 2004.
Anyways, any comments appreciated.
Have a blessed Memorial Day weekend, :wave:
