A slipping clutch and a stock misfire?

 

High rpm no speed, bug and like a cut in the real misfire

 

To test your clutch, put in in fourth and hit the throttle. If the RPMs rise without a corresponding increase in acceleration, you need a new clutch.

I'm not sure how a stock misfire is different from an aftermarket misfire, but when your car misfires, it will feel like it "missed" a step. Usually, the car does not misfire just once, but continuously. You'll know if your missing 25% of your engine.

 

Does that go for every car?

 

can you explain this a little more

 

yes.

 

If your clutch is slipping, it will not transfer all of the power to the wheels. It will slip and allow your throttle to rev the engine (clutch out and engaged) normally like you would during acceleration, but the power will spin off in the clutch and the car will not move forward like it should.

 

so i do this when completely stopped?

 

don't trust your boys in your service department?

 

lol

 

heh, no.. just tryin' to find out if it's the recall or if i have to swindle a free clutch. all signs pointing to the clutch so far...

 

it does it pretty regularly now... in 3rd 4th and 5th... floor it, right when the main boost kicks in the rpms jump as if i have the clutch engaged, then drop back down and continue to rise normally... very scary.. my poor evo is hurtin'... someone suggested cold spots on the clutch?

 

hopefully i can claim defective before 12,000 miles... lol, yea right.

 

I hear got a great warranty program and can easily fix that without any questions asked!

 

No, on the highway when you are driving.
