hey i bought a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000gt last year and today while driving home i would step on the gas and the rpms wpould go up but the car would not accelerate, i tried shutting it off and trying again. this only worked sometimes. after a while of doing this it would eventually catch but i could not go over about 30mph. then i t would happen again pls someone tell me whats happenig with my car. and if possible how much $ its going to cost to repair it.
thanks a ton if u can help me.

 

I deleted your other thread in the 3000gt section you dont need 2

It sounds like a clutch slipping... is your car a manual Tranny? clutch going bad will make rpms float and eventually the car wont move at all. it there a nasty smell when this happens too?

 

o ok srry, no theres no smell and my car is an automatic. if it is the clutch how much is it going to cost me roughly.

 

well if your auto its not a clutch. and im not possitive what would cause that other than maybe a tranny??? I have no clue then lol

 

well i know that with my auto it slips in the morning when its cold. I am guessing that i just need a fluid change, but with yours you are saying it happens all day and only over 30 mph. I definetely has to be a transmission problem.

 

yea i know the morning thing, but it only happened today when i was driving home, how much would it cost roughly if it was my tranny cause im not going to do it myself

 

Well first things first is it a auto or manual?

 

auto

 

One of three things....1.) Your fluid is very low 2.) Your torque convert it blown 3.) Your tranny its self it blow. So I would say check you fluid , see its its low, if its not smell it. If it smells burnt then head your self over to a tranny shop.

 

I know with the eclipses there is a limp mode to protect the tranny... Is your car shifting at all? Did your check engine light come on? Can you shift it manually into 2nd or Low?
