well tonite coming down a highway on-ramp and threw it down to 3rd to beat the traffic and the power was kinda "wavy" up the rpms and when i got to 6,000 it wasnt revving anymore and i was not passing the cars :( The thing is idk if i have a oil on the clutch problem or just a outright bad clutch. I have some oil seepage off the tranny but not loosing any engine oil between changes....so idk if its from the hydrolic clutch? From 33xxx miles i have never been able to cherp the tires in 2nd witch always kinda botherd me cuz i could kill it in my 1g neon. Anyone have advice for me? Had the same trouble? help meee :(

take it in to the stealership and see whats up . Maybe they could have some insight.

Me personally, I have no idea. So take it to your mechanic or the stealership. Better safe then sorry you know?

If you're leaking oil, but not from the engine, it could either be leaking hydraulic fluid (as said before), or it could be an input shaft seal, which would more than likely be putting at least a little bit of oil on the clutch. That clutch disc doesn't need much crap on it to make it feel completely different.

Just for reference though, oil on the clutch and a bad clutch are one and the same my friend. It sounds like either way, you'll need a clutch. If the clutch is just slipping, you'll be able to smell it a little bit. If it's slipping with oil on it, you will definitely smell it!
