Angry n00b Question about clutch

I'll make it quick and snappy, I got an RX-7 that has a clutch that is slipping, I keep driving it and the clutch keeps driving, and that transmission is leaking a black fluid, after a while the clutch slips sick, Car does not catch the clutch, barely does, so what happened??

1 can cant really understand what you wrote (been there lol) and if you keep driving it its just gonna get worse and worse tell it wont catch at all then youre stuck. buy a new clutch and NOT AN EBAY ONE THEY SUCK!!! change tranny fluid its oviously old fluid and is leaking find and stop the leak.

Sounds like your clutch has simply worn out. The remedy is to replace it with a new one.

God man..Put your Car up and Change the Clutch,Pilot bearing and Throw out bearing.And while your at it,you may as well Find that Leak too.It is either the Rear Engine Main seal or the Transmission's Front Seal..You see,when the Clutch gets Oil,or Fluid on it,It will Slip..it is not Gonna Just Fix itself...And no amount of Driving is gonna Take that Crap away from the Clutch disc.The Disc itself may Be Compromised,and Tend to Bite the dust early if it is Soaked in Oil....So Short Version Is: Change the Clutch,Replace related Bearings,Fix the Leak..Look up ACT Clutch,EXEDY Clutch on Ebay.//some of the Ebay ones are Not that bad.Good Luck.
