Bog on acceleration from stop
I guess that is what you would call it.
Car at a full stop, I press gas pedal
RPM goes up as normal
Acceleration lags behind until perhaps 13 mph when it is at about 4k RPM. Then the RPM drops to match the speed appropriately and it runs as normal until I shift.
It does it in 2nd but less pronounced.
I am not sure where I should go in the service manual. For some reason TPS seems like the culprit.
Let me know if you have tips or direct me to where to go in the service manual. I do know the procedure for testing a TPS and will try it.
94 6spd

If your clutch wasn't slipping, engine RPM would be directly correlated to vehicle speed and acceleration. There's no way around that.

thanks
I performed a few tests related to clutch I found on AI. It failed them all.
I saw a thread recently debating the ins and outs of specific clutches. I'll try to find it, but I am open to suggestions.
