fuel prob? or clutch prob?
Wednesday, August 10, 2005 10:21 AM
hey guys i have an 03 cavy with a 5spd tranny. its got about 51K miles on it. i have noticed that when i am driving it the car like jumps. only when i am stopped and start to move a little. like a light just changed and its time to go. and when i get above 3500rpms the car starts to act like its skipping gears. and i have noticed that when i am going and i have the windows down i can hear it churp when it starts to skip like that. what do you think is wrong? i just changed the oil the other day and it didnt do it for like 4 days straight and now its doing it again. all regualr tune ups have been done on time. what could be wrong? fuel? clutch? thanks for youre help

Sounds like Clutch and it wouldn't suprise me. I've heard different stories of just random transmission problems on 03+ Cavys. Currently I have a friend that has a grind in 3rd gear after his car has been to the dealership 2 times to try and fix it.

Best thing I can tell you do is take advantage of your warranty and see if the dealer can fix it.

Just so I can elaborate, if it's not your clutch, it has something to do with your transmission.

Damn that sucks.

Well you can always take it to a transmission shop and ask them to drive it and see what their conclusion of the problem is. They won't charge you to tell you whats wrong...

Good luck

if it works good at low idle untill about 3500, I would try a fuel filter, they're cheap enough
