Well, the clutch was supposedly slipping a year ago (from what the inspectors said), though I've felt nothing "slipping" myself. My dad says that I'll know the clutch is slipping when it starts losing gears on a hill... going from 5th to 4th without my pressing the clutch, etc. And I haven't felt that at all... just a negative acceleration and loss of power (and lots of jiggling, though that may be a separate issues).
But then again, maybe I don't know what a bad clutch sounds like. It does sound more like a fuel/air problem when I'm driving it (it actually feels like there are "gaps" in the gas feed, if that makes any sense... no pulling power whatsoever)... but I am not an expert.
Thanks for all the feedback so far... we're getting there!
