car problem again

hey, i think my clutch is going bad

the car shifted "by it self" out of reverse and 1st.
1st and 2nd gears sound fine, when i go into 3d, i start hearing this nois that sounds like ... i dont know.. but its a nois, it gets higher pich in 4, then higher in 5th, if i press the clutch it goes away, it i leave it in a gear (3,4,5) and take my foot off the gas, it will fade out "about 2-3 sec". Sometimes, when im going in revers, the gear doesnt go in all the time, i have to take my foot off the clutch, and try again, and try one more time, then it works, it also does it in 1st. I have to have the clucth ALL THE WAY DOWN, and i do mean all the way down, to shift! is that normal, today i head a " crackling noise after i was at a light, i was stoped and i kinda touched the gas a lill bit, and all i hear is this crackling noise as if smthing was loose inside like that heatsheild thing, i think my clutch is going, one more thing, if i go up to 4k rpms and try to move, like whith the clutch pressed in, "rev first, then apply the clutch" the car will move about an inch, and the rpms will fly, so im gussing thats my clutch slipping, now i didt do that on purpose but, i was pissed from the gf.

any ideas?

First thing: Put your car in your signature. No one is gonna help you until they know what year and model you are driving, and any major mods to help you diagnose the problem. Without this, it makes it much more difficult to narrow down.

^^I think you meant "there". :smile:

it shifted out again, when i was pulling out of the gas station, and taking a right turn out of 1st gear, it idles at 200 rpms and wants to stop, if i turn it off and turn it on right a way, same problem, i have to wait about 5 - 10 min....
between neutral and 2nd gear, i hear this little grinding nois, its real low, but i can feel some of it two when my hand is on the gear, ....
i just got a recharge kit for my k&n air filter....maby that will fix the idle when its hot out problem, and maby i have bad syncros..i dont know, i need help...im about to take it to the dealer, but i just want to hear some opinions first,....it seems like most of my problems and when im turning

I'm no clutch expert but that sounds like a new clutch. Also this should be in the problem diagnosis sub-forum.

That sounds like more than a clutch problem to me. You may want to consider the fact that you may need a new tranny. If your clutch was the only problem you had then you wouldn't have the problem with with your gears popping out all on their own. The dealership sounds like a good idea to me. The only thing that I can think of right off the top of my head is that you may be having a problem with the collar which is what connects the gear to the driveshaft connected to the differential. If that for some reason wasn't making a clean connection to the gear then the excess stress of turning could force it off the gear.
