    ive done everything possible to my FC, lmk what you need

    really just sounds like your clutch is slipping, you would usually want to upgrade this anyways.

    ey and your tranny problem is your clutch slipping.. so yea try a new clutch if it keeps slipping buy a tranny.. rebuilding a tranny will cost u around 600-700 bux..

    yeah if it were the tranny it'd either keep popping out of gear, or the car wouldn't move at all. Or in some really bad cases, you'd be stuck in gear permanently. You just need a new clutch, the friction plate and possibly pressure plate are worn out.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    when you get a clutch make sure you have a clutch removal tool. you can rent it from mazdatrix.com you pay for the tool and then you send it back and get your money back. but you have to have that to get the flywheel off.
    and make sure you get they flywheel resurfaced. don't be ghetto
    good luck man

    You should re-surface the flywheel (cuts down on risk of chattering and slipping)...

    By clutch removal tool are you referring to the pilot bearing removal tool? or the flywheel holder tool? I dont know of a tool that is needed to remove the clutch... The pilot bearing can be a bear, and the flywheel nut can be a pain...

    Maz-mart has body parts, And RX-7 club is decent but don't believe everything you read on there.
    Try not. Do or Do not.
