Slipping clutch. Possible bad drivetrain?
Some of you already know the issue I'm going through, any usable constructive input is welcomed.
Two nights ago, I was driving from work in my NX2000. I noticed that after about 2500 to 3000 RPM the motor would rev on up and my speed would barely increase.
The same thing the next day (yesterday). When I got home last night, I noticed that when the shifter is moved to the right from the neutral position, and back to the middle again, a strange "door creaking" noise is omitted. But when the shifter is moved from the middle to the left... no noise. It was getting dark so I left it alone and went inside.
This morning upon driving to work.... the car ran fine! No problems! It wasn't until about 40 minutes into the drive that the issue began to repeat itself.
It got so bad that when I finally got back to my apartment complex that I needed help pushing the car uphill and then into a parking spot. Even with the shifter in the 1st gear position with the car motionless the motor doesn't shut off, so that means the clutch isn't engaging.
The clutch is an ACT stage 2 clutch, the pressure plate is stock.
There are no strange noises, or grinding or violent shaking going on.
This being my first 5 speed vehicle I assumed it was the drivetrain, being that I've had such issues with automatics in the past. After asking friends, and doing research. I've "assumed" that it is either the clutch or the pressure plate, possibly the springs going bad. I'm not sure.
If anyone has experienced this or has opinions related to my issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks guys!
