Default how can i tell if my clutch is slipping or my transmission is bad?
After driving in stop and go traffic for about 20 minutes, getting out of first gear requires me to ride the clutch and/or give it more gas than normal. If I dont do this, the car shakes and shudders like its about to stall. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
Transmission?
Clutch?

thanks!

Default go about 50mph (80kph) in 5th, and floor it.
if the revs go up but your not speeding up as fast as you should be. then your clutch is slipping.

you will be able to tell.
