My Toyota Celica GT dosen't pick up speed till I hit 4-5 RPMS?

Question

Toyota Celica GT 2001

Manuel- 5 Speed

It won't pick up speed till I reach 4-6 RPMS, I tried shifting to higher gears, but it dosen't help at all; then I tried going in reverse and it also dosen't pick up speed till I reach 4-6 RPMS. When I push the gas it sounds like I'm Reving it up, till I reach 4-6 RPMS. Before I change out the clutch should I look at other possible solutions???

Answer 1

GET A NEW CAR

Answer 2

sounds like a clutch slipping.  maybe after you've driven it open the bonnet and see if it stinks-  if there's a dirty burning smell its probably your clutch.

Answer 3

I seriously suggest you just take it into a Toyota dealership or even into your local mechanic before you go out and start replacing things.

It may just be lacking a service...who knows?

Good luck with that

Answer 4

The clutch has died. The more you rev it the worse it will be.

Good luck. h

Answer 5

go test drive some other celica's and compair.

may be this is the way the engine has been designed.

may be the max torque will be delivered at 4-6 rpm!?
