Hey guys, this is kind of complicated to explain...When i let the clutch out in my car at the point where the clutch grabs the gear and my foot has just come off the pedal, I.E. (At a low RPM range).. My car is just..sluggish i guess is the word..it kind of bogs and feels like its like flooded with fuel or something..It drives ok after that but its just bugging the crap out of me. Minivans are taking me out of the hole unless i dump the clutch and burn out every time. What could be wrong guys? I havent changed the spark plugs since ive had the car (1 month) but i have them sitting in my room along with a new set of FRPP 9mm plug wires..just cleaned the MAF about 2 weeks ago also.. I dont know where to look.

are you sure it's not your driving skills.

I'm not trying to be mean but thats what it sounds like. it sounds like your just bogging out.

Dude i have been driving 5.0 mustangs for 3 years. Its not that, even if i let the clutch out at a higher RPM, when the clutch actually engages the gear, it bogs out

I do but it has felt just different this last week or so, like it has lost power. Not a huge amount but i used to be able to dump the clutch and pitch the whole ass end in a full circle..Now it feels as though it has trouble spinning them at all and it kinda feels slow.
