RE: Transmission going out on me
the see whether or not ur clutch is going out the door, you can do one of two things. first u can put it in 5th while standing still and just let off the clutch. if it stalls right away your good for now. another way u can tell is if your cruising in 5th and floor it. if ur rpms go up but speed doesnt inscrease then ur clutch is slipping.

RE: Transmission going out on me
^ thank you, my car stalls right away while starting in 5th, and when i floor it in 5th neither the rpm's or speed go up fast so far it seems im fine. but when i start in 1st and slowly accelerate it sounds like a vibration or grinding noise is coming from underneath my car. once i get to about 1000-1200rpm's it goes away. could this be the tranny?
