Kinda like driving a perfectly normal car on a really wet road or ice, Thats what it felt/feels like. That was what my OEM clutch was like come the end of its life.

- Wed Jul 08, 2009 2:12 am #129096 Try leaving it in a different gear like 3rd or reverse. Could be the gear as well the low idle could be something else completely. shrink your possibilities on your clutch zone in on the prob. Mines starting to go too another main thing i think, if it's your clutch is when you accelerate do the RPM's match up with your speed?

Sometimes my car goes from 15-2500 rpms and i didn't really go any whwere untill like 3k then it'll pulls.

Sorry if this is like obvious info. Just thought i'd mention it before you spend money on a clutch and it could be something else.
