What usually happens to your engine performance if you either

A) buy gas with water in it, or

B) buy gas that has dirt and stuff in it?

I ask because after my first fill up after The Storm, when I depress the accelerator, the tachometer's RPMs go to 3 or 4 and the velocity stays the same and it takes several minutes for my car to be at the speed where my stick is. (Example: In 4th or 5th gear and the car's going 25 mph while the tach needle is at 3.)

Any advice is welcome. Thanks.

1. Could be a clogged fuel filter

2. I'll bet that's it!!! Will check in with you later!

Problem in Accelerating: If in spite of stepping on the gas, the speed of the vehicle is the same (no acceleration), then it is a clear sign.

3. Update

I so wish you were right.

Car's on a hydraulic lift now. New clutch and new transmission.

Ouch.

4. Slipping clutch might only need adjustment. Trans itself should not be affected by slipping clutch.

Try to get second opinion before authorizing work.

5. 150,000 miles makes for a compelling argument to replace the clutch.

I wish it were only slipping.

Last car made it to 200,000 before I needed a new clutch.

6. I'm not saying the clutch should not replace. But...

You wrote: "New clutch and new transmission."

Why new trans?

7. Partial trans. More like an essential bracket.
