Symptoms:
1. Some vibration when I start in first....as if I'm not giving enough gas but I am.
2. Sometimes when rowing through the gears it is sluggish as each gear engages.
3. If I dump the clutch with intentions of spinning the tires, I don't move, the tires don't move, I smell clutch burning, I see smoke from clutch.
4. I started the car yesterday and it started but immediately made a sound as if I turned the key again (I didn't). Then I shut it off but the car continued to try to turn over.....without the key. I guess the starter was stuck...in the engaged position. I pulled the key out, put it back in and started the car right up. No problems (like this) since.
5. With the car off, I can easily row through all the gears (except reverse) without pushing the clutch down.
This is my first manual tranny so I don't know a bad clutch feels like. Thanks.
