My car is having serious issues. I noticed today that getting going in first gear was tough. It feels like it is just not grabbing. I would hit the gas and let off the clutch and eventually just let the clutch the rest of the way off and the car would kind of jerk like a new clutch driver. Tonight, I was cruisin and suddenly the engine (in 4th gear) revved way up quickly without acceleration. I let off the gas, re-accelerated and it did it again. I thought at first I was hydroplaning but it was not the case. I smelled something kind of burning. I stopped and checked the engine but could see nothing.

Now getting out of first is even harder. IF I drop into a lower gear(ie 5th to fourth), it does not seem to affect anything. I can accelerate up to about 3000-3500rpm and then the engine just revs and I have no more acceleration in all gears.

Tranny, hose, clutch???? Must drive to ST Louis tomorrow and neep help badly!

ZEV, you available SAT? Huge favor if you can help me.

Oh no. Sounds like a clutch to me. I'm not sure who would have one on a Saturday.

I'd look for something else to drive to St. Louis. No way someone is going to be able to get the parts and install it today. I don't think even the dealer would carry them in stock.

Stammler took 3 days to get the parts for mine (under warranty).

Good luck getting it done quickly.

Left it there, hopefully will have good news.
