Hello all,
well i have an interesting question for y'all, i have a 2002 2.3L with a hair over 84K on the clock, with a 5 speed, and it has a tenancy of bucking/studding at about 1700 to 2200 RPM with me barely on the throttle (about 10 to 20 %) doesn't matter what gear or speed. its been doing this for about 2 months and Ive had just about enough of it lol, I've tried replacing the plugs, put a can of seafoam in the tank and gone through the tank of gas. i replaced the fuel filter about 5 months ago so i wouldn't think it would be that. to does when i go out of my driveway, in 1st it will move just not very fast, then it will catch up. im thinking that the clutch is going out, but im not 100% sure
If it helps ive had the truck since 3K miles, and i learned to drive stick in it(since 2005), and the last 4 or 5 months the truck has been used exceptionally hard, towed my dads 1969 nova 25 miles, and towed my 1986 Trans Am 60 miles combination of rush hour I-5 traffic and highway speeds, pulling fiancee's jeep out of a ditch, and lots of heavy wood loads
Anyways any help is greatly appreciated, and if posted in the wrong section i do apologize
