Need help for mpg

[fininfarina]

I'm driving 93 Del Sol Si D16z vtec 5speed

recently changed my clutch last week in the shop

when shift 1st and 2 gear, I heard some weird sound like grinding

runs perfect though,

used to make 40~45 mpg, now around 20~25 miles per gallon

Its hard to shift reverse gear now

what is the problem??

i dont think ur clutch wil effect ur mpg.. but i duno.. maybe u did ur math wrong? :\

[fininfarina]

I shift at 2~3k rpm and never ran more than 70 mph

can not figure out what the problem is

I will take the car to the shop tomorrow

if you've experienced a 50% decrease in your fuel mileage - something is seriously wrong with your car.

...Perhaps your initial mpg numbers were somewhat inflated? 45mpg is hybrid territory, not 14-year-old delsol with a d16 territory.

As far as your transmission problem is concerned, it sounds to me like you need to bleed your clutch master/slave cylinders some more. The clutch isn't being depressed entirely, which is why you find the partial grind while shifting, and the difficulty in engaging the reverse gear.

good luck
