Trouble with 92 Sentra E acceleration

[dissidentwriter]

I have a 1992 Sentra E with 133,000 miles. It's a 4-speed manual with all original equipment.

I'm finding it's not accelerating the way it used to. For instance: when I reach speeds of 60 mph or higher, I have to rev the engine very high to get it faster. It's almost as if it's slipping somehow.

Is this a transmission or engine problem? Or something with fuel delivery?

Thanks.

it's probably your clutch. if u hear the engine overrevving and you're not going anywhere then it's definatly your clutch. since you have an e
i doubt you have a tach cause if u did u would see the revs climb and your speed stay the same or even drop

I think you may be right. Turns out a few other folks agree with that too. Makes sense. Engine seems to be working just right and after doing a little checking yesterday, is still pretty smooth.

I'll see what the mechanic says. Clutch is out of my league.

And no, I don't have a tach since it's just an "E" model. Being an old VW person, I learned how to "feel" the car rather than rely on a tach. She hasn't done me wrong until now.

I'm just hoping the clutch cable is out of adjustment and that it's not oil on the clutch.

Thanks for your help,
