jumpy rpms

hey guys, i noticed today on my way to school thaat when i accelerate in third and fourth gear that the rpms gauge jumps around alot. instead of slowly climbing, it shoots up to about 3000 and then drops back down. i dont know if its just the needle stickin or what. this is the first day it did it. thanx

auto or manual? if its a manual it sounds like your clutch is slipping...

manual

yeah, im no expert, but it sounds like the clutch is slipping. i cant quite tell ya where to go but im pretty sure that's what's happening, sorry...

crap.thanks for your help

well does your engibe sound like its jumpy too? it might be the gauge.

could worn clutch or a bad pressure plate...

well my dad drove it and he was pretty sure it was the clutch going out, so it looks like i'll be buying a new clutch instead of a flowmaster. :disappoin

make sure you get a beast one. actually, a good clutch and new flywheel is a better mod than exhaust, unless you just wanted the car to sound cool...

dont waste money on flowmasters. Edelbrock performers flow about 70 more cfm's than flowmasters and you can get them cheaper. only drawback is they dont quite sound as good
