serious help time :(
ok its NOT the clutch (act in there now)
its NOT a clogged exhaust (disconnected y-pipe and ran like that for a test)
WHY DO I HAVE NO POWER? compression is good, 3k on rebuild... not eating coolant or oil... idle is dead on 750...
hit the gas in 1st gear? ZOOM the rpms fly up (engine sounds just like it should) only the car barely moves
same in 2nd and third, 4th and 5th are just dead, if im going 40+ 4th gear is ok, just no power, rpms dont move up, just steady, no speed either.
wtf? fuel filter? plugs? timing? wires? i also have a slight miss in there somewhere, at idle once in a (random) while it will pop a little bit, not a backfire, just a little sputter
im stumped. completely stumped.
oh yea, gutted the cats (after this problem started, thought it was clogged)
s5 n/a
can anyone help?

well, just a chance, but a friend of mine had a similar problem. revs would be fair-ok in gear, but if you punched it in gear they would shoot up like a torqueconverter unlocked or a really really bad slipping clutch. ended up being a stripped spline shaft going into the tranny. might want to check it, i suppose it could also be splines comming out of the tranny or in the rear end(or wherever else splines are used)

I doubt the ACT would be slipping since its brand new, the clutch slave cylinder could possibly be messed up not letting it retract all the way, thats the only other possibility i can think of besides the tranny.....
BTW i know this is a shot in the dark but how long ago was this clutch put in? If it was recently someone may have left the key out of the flywheel. Just a thought.

I have had a problem very similar to this. I could only move the car in 4th gear... Everything else was like nuetral. I took out the tranny and took it to a shop. The gearbox was completly melted, except for the 4th gear. Hope this helps.... (Its your tranny)
