Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have manual trans, I am not sure what the problem is. Today when i tried to
drive it today. I was able to shift through the gears, but it would not move well.
When I cycled through the gears it felt like I stayed in first gear the whole time
it would not go over 15MPH. even in 2 or 3rd gear. Any ideas???

Don't mind my grammar above, I'm at work doing this, so it was quick please let me know if you need more information.
That sounds like your clutch is slipping.
Is there any way to confirm it without bringing it in?
Ok,could weather play a factor in this? This was happening in the morning. It was only 7 degrees out. Something could have possible been frozen. I tried to drive it when i got home from work yesterday, It drove like nothing even happened. I ask some other people who are more mechanically inclined than I am and they said that I there could be water in my Transmission? Do you think this is possible? It has only done that when it was super cold outside.
