put it in 3rd and at about 2500 punch it if the rpm's rev up and the car doesnt really move much faster the clutch is shot other than that when the clutch grabs kinda high it needs adjustment or its on its way out

Oh, okay. I also saw something else like put the car in first with the hand brake and give it gas and let the cluch out. If it stalls your good, will this also work? It has something to do with the fact that your engine can't turn the back tires so it would die and if it stays running for a second then its slipping.

eh that really wont do anything i have done it before with my car and my car still lunges forward. the only thing i can think of with that is that if the clutch is really bad the engine will spin and burn the clutch really bad
