Pissed Off Clutch...
Alrighty...here's the story.
From when we got it last May untill very early June it has been/will be basically garage kept and hardly driven. My mom can't drive a stick and my dad really doesn't prefer to...and I'm still waiting for my permit.
So, every so often (generally over the weekend once) I take the car around my street, or over to the schools parking lot, or me and my dad take it out somewhere. Now the odd part is that the clutch goes in spurts. some days it's dialed in perfectly and shifts are smooth and all is good. Other days (like today) it was pissed and it like always shakes like mad when it's starting out from first and occasionally shifts hard when you're progressing into 2nd or 3rd. Now, I'm not great at driving it but I'm better than my dad. It did it for me too. And the clutch seems to want you to rev at like 2000+ and ease off the clutch as opposed to minorly gassing it and it goes. it's like you can't win. I don't drop the clutch and it was rplaced before we bought it (I think to pass inspection). Now...I'm no mechanic but something seems to be pissed off. Could the clutch need adjusted? Is it from not using it often?Could it maybe be the plugs and wires? Or even (dear god no) be that I need a new clutch? I know manuals always ride harder than autos but I don't wanna be rocking all the way down my street.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
