Hi all
So before i end up going to a mechanic as money is tight. I was hoping to get some advice here first and try and troubleshoot and hopefully fix my issue myself before having to spend to much.
So last week my wife's car started to struggle with getting the rpm up. At first when u start the car and pull off everything seems fine, however when switching to second its like the car has no power and struggles to gain revs. even when going around the corner I have to sometimes gear back to first because second is useless. Then eventually even with clutch in, the car doesn't want to gain revs. I have to step on the gas, wait for it to sluggishly reach like 2500 rpm, and slowly release the clutch to get somewhere. Then I have to go high revs so that when I gear to second or third or whatever its at a high enough rpm so that the rpm doesn't drop below 2000 otherwise I have to gear back to first or step on clutch to the gears climb up and slowly release clutch again.
Please any advice would be super
