Hey guys. Haven't been around here in a long time, college is incredibly busy. Well, I've got a problem. The other day, about 2 weeks ago, I was just driving the SC around campus at 20-25mph, and all of a sudden the engine RPM's go from ~1200 (cruising) to 3000 then back to 400ish and it will do that back and forth, very rapidly, basically bucking the whole car back and forth. This stops when I disengage the clutch, and it will be fine for a while. There is no noticable pattern of when it will happen, it just will at random times. My friend and I think that the clutch is slipping then reengaging, thus causing the flux in RPM's and the shaking of the car. I have been having some problems with the clutch before, when I engage the clutch from a stop in first gear, the whole car shakes for about a second and a half, then the car is fine. And the car doesnt feel nearly as fast as it did when I bought it ~6 months ago. So I'm pretty sure it's with the clutch, just wanted to get some of yall's opinions. Oh, if any of you guys know of any decent shops in the Gainesville area, let me know. Thanks a lot.
