Transmission slip or something else?
When i'm in 2nd and 3rd gear if i punch it to quick over 3500rpm it seems to be slipping/ starts chugging along and sputtering. I have a 4 speed from a 73 valiant.
if i give it a gradual acceleration there is no slip. any ideas? |
it spits and sputters? if ur clutch slips the engine will rev high really quick if its a spit sputter u may need plugs wires/ fuel filter carb cleaning.
|
Those are 2 sprite problems....
What Happens in 1 & 2 ???? |
Sounds more like a carb problem.
|
I agree about the carb, what carb is it?
To confirm find a place where you can try the same 3500rpm acceleration in each gear and record the results. |
1st gear goes up to 5k rpm
2nd starts sputtering at 3300 rpm when i was going up a hill 3rd sputters over 3600rpm 4th sputters right away around 2800rpm this is a ll when gunning it pretty hard if i give it a slow gradual it will sputter and catch up and shake a little |
thanks for the info.
got new plugs work the late shift so Im a late night poster. |
Change the fuel filter too....
|
I would do the cap, rotor, and wires with the plugs...Bill
|
I thinks its running out of fuel....
Fuel filter Check fuel pressure. Check fuel flow Reset Float level Just my 2 cents :duck: |
Sounds like fuel starvation to me too. What type of carb? A fuel pump test may be in order too.
Sorry Bob I see you said that too. Dan. |
thanks again its got an old fuel pump
|
Problem solved changed plugs all except 2 behind headers on driver side. Will get at them when I swap out headers tomorrow. Did notice a little sputtering on hills. What's a good 12v pump?
|
for fuel? theres no need to install a electric pump you can always install a high flow mechanical pump
