I've been noticing a problem with my samurai, I thought I was driving it when i first started it and it was cold, but its happening now when its warm.
Here's what's going on. I can take off "ok" and get through 3rd gear and get going about 40 mph and in 4th gear, if I give it more gas it just sends the RPM's up but no more power to the wheels. I am assuming this is something in the transmission/clutch area. It's got about 60,000 miles on it, and I'm pretty sure it was just a daily driver before I got it. I've only very rarely/lightly wheeled it in the last year. I wouldn't think it would need a new clutch and it doesn't seem to have the tell tale signs of a failing clutch, i.e. smell and hard time taking off. I've had a bad clutch in a jeep and i know what it's like. is it possible I just need to adjust the clutch? i've been driving it for about a year and it just now is starting to happen within the last month. any ideas. thanks.
