Hey, sorry if this is a mad newbie question, but… My 180 is driving fine, the clutch seems to grab in first, second, then in third a bit, but mostly in 4th (some 5th) it seems that as soon as it starts going hard, like 4k rpm and up the rpm’s climb but the car does’nt go with it! Slipping dlutch? Thats what I assume, but I am no mechanic! If this is a common problem any help would be appreciated. Also I think my rear main seal might be leaking, Thanks ---

Yeah, that’s a typical symptom of a tired clutch. As for your rear main seal, that will be easy to tell once you have the tranny/bell housing/flywheel off to change the clutch. ---

for sure a clutch/pressure plate issue. ---
