Clutch Problems 200 244

posted by  someone claiming to be Adrian on  Thu Nov 23 17:59 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I'm in San Francisco, California. I have a 1984 244GL with 4speed + overdrive transmission that seems to be slipping. The unusual thing is that I don't notice the car slipping in 4th or overdrive when I'm on the freeway, however when I am cruising up steep hills and accelerating hard in 2nd or 3rd, the engine over-revs for the speed I'm going.

The car has done 144,000 miles and I'm not sure if a new clutch is warranted (or part there of) or if I just neet to have it adjusted in some way. The clutch does not seem to engage until late when I'm releasing the pedal.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me and possibly suggest a course of action.

Thanks,

Adrian.
