Need some diagnostic help - worn clutch?
I'm having what I think is a clutch problem and am wondering if anyone in the San Francisco area (I live in the City) would be able to meet with me and help me diagnose the problem.

you say the rpms lower then come back on?
if your clutch was slipping, they'd rise, then drop as the tachometer measures how fast the engine is spinning, not how fast the gears are spinning.
edit: then again, maybe you're not realizing exactly how fast the RPMs are climbing until they drop to normal when you're on it.

Try Auto Dynamik in SF:

But if you feel that your clutch is slipping, see if the car will die as it's in first gear and you let the clutch out slowly. If it slips and doesn't die, then your clutch is going bad. For most clutch repairs, the flywheel may or may not need replacing and that's what could double your repair cost.
