R32 Problem - Something In The Drivetrain...

Hey guys,

Got a problem with the old '32 GTS-4. Occasionally after going up a gear (in any gear) the car will shift as normal, however on the odd occasion moments after I've shifted the car gets stuck in terms of engine revs, as if the clutch isn't 'biting'. This is then followed by a sudden 'bite' once again and the revs pick up as normal. Being a noob at cars, all I can say is that it feels like my clutch is going silly on me, as if it doesn't know whether or not it should 'bite'. The clutch pedal feels perfectly fine (I can feel the friction point as normal), it's just like suddenly driving with a dead accelerator pedal for a moment when that 'biting' on and off occurs. It was something I ignored for a week or two till it happened to me on the freeway :D Quite freaky. Is it transmission/clutch/diff? I don't have a clue. Any suggestions on what it could be would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Gerard.

if the clutch was slipping the revs would go up ie flare, not stay constant so it's unlikely to be that. is it a hesitation in the engine that you are describing?

Hmm... yeah come to think about it you're right. Yeah its like a hesitation followed by sudden response again. And it feels like the diff at the back stops and then starts again.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
