Answer
Mike: First off you need to go out and buy yourself a repair manual for your car, most parts stores have them for around $20.00. Here is what my repair manual says might be the problem....clutch plate worn, clutch plate is oil soaked by leaking rear main seal, clutch plane not seated. It may take 30 or 40 normal starts for a new one to seat., warped pressure plate or flywheel, weak diaphragm spring, this is all under "Clutch slips". So go out and get that repair manual, read up on your car and then decide what you want to do. Hope this helps and good luck! Linda
