I'm about to drive my car off a cliff.
Well lately there has been suspision that i cracked my block. Oil was in my antifreeze but we had used stop leaked before and it had beads in it that worked like oil. We put more in yesterday to see if it keeps leaking and it stopped, so that made us believe it was my radiator. But i just took my car out today and i was flooring it through 1st and its kind of hesitating(a sign of a cracked block) the car isnt smoking at all, it was a little yesterday but i havent started it in a day or two. And another thing is i just put a brand new clutch in about 2 months ago and now it feels like its slipping, i cant ****** my gears anymore at all, i posted something a while back about how when i accidentally rest my foot on the clutch it makes a weird noise like a chirping.
It's really starting to bother me and i don't have money for a new motor if its the block thats cracked.

Im not sure what the other stuff is but this
"when i accidentally rest my foot on the clutch it makes a weird noise like a chirping".
That is your throw out bearing(clutch). need to replace that and pressure plate.

RE: I'm about to drive my car off a cliff.
so i just bought a new clutch and i need to replace it already? or just the throwout bearing and pressure plate? i just put a new clutch in in march and the only time i smelt it burning was the first time i drove it because i havent drove a clutch in a while. but since then i never smelt it burning again.

It makes that chirping noise when you apply a little preasure on your clutch peddle? Then yes you just need to replace your thow out bearing and preasure plate.
When you did you clutch you should have replaced the preasure plate and the throw out bearing then

Well maybe something went wrong. Did you do it or did you have it done? I know 1,000% that chirping noise is your throwout bearing. Mine made that same chirping noise when I applied light preasure on the the clutch peddle. Did it for over a year until I got sick of it and fixed it.
