Clutch

Well, my clutch is starting to go out on my car. That'd be only $175 if I fix it myself. I haven't called around to see what the prices are. I don't really want to do it myself. When I bought it in 2007, I knew it would need a clutch within a few years. Well, here it is a few years later and it's going.

In third gear it will rev up without going any faster if I gun it. Until today, that had been the worst of it. Today, I was going up a hill at 50 mph in fifth gear and the engine reved. I backed off the accelerator and it righted itself. I was slowing down, so downshifted of course.

It is scary driving it. Luckily, I've got enough money in case I need a tow, so I can drive it around town still. I don't have the money to have it fixed, so I'm gonna keep with the procrastination and hopefully I can get it done after Christmas.
