    go to a 1st gear pull to redline, snatch second gear an see if it barks the tires. if it doesnt, and it lags, sounds like a clutch to me

    if the speedo goes up but the tires arent spinning , clutch is gone
    speedo going up but tires not spinning= broken axles. Please watch your advice because there are a lot of newbs out there!!

    A weak clutch will slip from torque not horsepower, no need to go to redline.

    That bitchslapping you speak of could be caused from bad gas or timing too high.

    no offense mr. 3 posts, but i think i know what im talking about.

    Of course if the car goes NOWHERE but the speedo climbs its a broken axle, but if you would have read, that is not this guys case. the car actually DRIVES, so, if it wont climb itself up a hill and downshifting still causes it to DECREASE SPEED, then its USUALLY a clutch.

    he said that he hears a god awful noise at 4500rpms. if his motor is rod knocking, then the car would have no power , because a ROD is HITTING the CRANKshaft

    have you actually seen him turn some wrenches or just assume. What if you payed a shop to put a clutch in your car when you needed a fuel filter?
