Default My car
I thought I suddenly forgot to drive a stick shift. When Joe and I drive together he usually drives. We usually take his truck but this time we took my car. We took it for a good long drive and he started complaining about how it reved up a lot and wasn't accelerating right. I told him I had noticed that about a week ago off and on but kept thinking I was not driving well. He looked at me like I was crazy. As he should. I didn't suddenly forget to drive a clutch.

I feel so stupid. He's going to take it into the dealer tomorrow or the next day. Sometimes I'm so blonde

That's what I'm saying Porter, instead of realizing it was the car having mechanical problems, as I should have, I kept thinking I was driving wrong, which, since I have been driving a stick shift off and on since I was 16 years old in cars, motorcycles, etc, I wouldn't suddenly forget how. I feel so blonde at times....

I assume there was no clutching issues as I am sure you would have had other comments ?

Having said that I had a clutch finally slip real bad on me once going up a hill.. Was the worse feeling on the world..

I knew it was shot and now had to replace it.. The engine would rev really high.. I would imagine that's what happened to yours..

Yup it's revving really high when I shift gears. And it's especially noticable on hills. Wouldn't you know. I have about 4 payments left. Joe is off work the next two days so I'm driving the truck to work tomorrow. He can drive the motorcycle to work and/or the bike if need be for a while, worse case scenario. Damn, I hope it's nothing expensive we are trying to save every penny to get on the property before winter sets in

That's pretty much what I was talking about in my "duh moments" thread. Been there, done that, hon.

Clutch is most likely gone. If it is front wheel drive it is not an easy cheap fix. Expect to drop big bucks.

Timing, clutch, O2 sensor....could be a few different things, but it does sound more like your clutch is going.
Good thing he noticed so you can find out for sure.

Well Joe is taking her into the dealer today. I'm driving the big Truck. I keep forgetting and putting my left foot on the brake and reaching my hand for the non-existent stick shift. But I feel high up in the sky today
