I have a manual 02 corolla. When I try to accelerate in any gear, the engine
starts reving hard but it does not transfer the power to the wheels the
power comes slowly and after some lag. What could be the problem?
Re: Inadequate torque transfer from engine-02 corolla
Check clutch master cylinder fluid level. If it is low fill to specs and
check slave cylinder on clutch to see if it is leaking. If both
components check ok, then you might just need a new clutch. Mileage?

It sounds like the clutch is slipping. Assuming that you are in the S.F.
Bay area and depending on mileage, driving conditions, and driving
technique, the clutch may be worn.

I don't see what fluid level would have to do with it?...I'd say
its a slipping clutch for sure...

Gord is correct.
A low fluid level in the clutch master cylinder could cause hard shifting
but not slipping. On the other hand, if the clutch master cylinder were
hanging up somehow (very unlikely), it could cause slipping, as could weak
pressure springs (which would still require clutch replacement to fix).
Re: Inadequate torque transfer from engine-02 corolla
It sounds like you've burned up the clutch.

Re: Inadequate torque transfer from engine-02 corolla
No matter the status of the hydraulics, the clutch is toast. The hydraulics
can also be toasted, but the description of the symptoms is not right for
this to be the case.

Re: Inadequate torque transfer from engine-02 corolla
Thank you for your responses ppl. The mileage on the car is 67000 and it has
been used a lot in stop and go traffic. How much does a cluch change
generally cost?

Where? It's a labor intensive job requiring removal of both engine and
transmission. Prices do tend to vary depending on where you are in the
world and how much labor runs. In CenTex maybe $1,100 of which maybe
$200 is parts.

Unfortunately, it is probably $1,500 to $2,000 in the Bay Area.

Re: Inadequate torque transfer from engine-02 corolla
I had a mechanic install a new clutch in my BMW a year ago, it cost about
$900. The clutch itself wasn't too expensive, but the labor was huge.
If you can do the work yourself, I'd guess the clutch and associated parts
that go along with it will run to about $250, give or take.

I'm betting your beemer wasn't front wheel drive.

That would be a good bet. But the cost of the clutch and associated parts is
still relatively small compared to the cost of the job so the point remains
the same.
