Hello fellow FiST owners. I have a 2015 FiST with 89,000 miles. I started noticing some big problems lately and I want to know why they are happening. Below are a list of a couple problems and please try to help me understand what they are and how I can fix them. Note that I bought this car used so I don't know if I can still use the recalls if there are any.
1) If I'm at cruising RPM's and I give it 70% or more throttle to it without changing gears, the RPM's shoot up from about 1900-4500 and the engine gets louder but no acceleration is happening. After a second or 2, the RPM's go back down to the cruising RPM and it repeats that process. However, when I do that in 4th gear, I hear grinding where the shifter is. Is my transmission slipping?
2) From stop, when I put my car in 1st and start going, my car shakes a little bit. Not like it's going to stall out at all (I know how to drive stick, never had this problem before). Do I need a new clutch?
3) This one only happens sometimes but when I'm in 1st going into 2nd, I push in the clutch and the RPM's should go down but it stays high up until I put it into 2nd and drop the clutch then it goes down real fast.
Again, someone please help me out. I love my car so much and I don't want to get ride of it. Any suggestion helps!! Thanks you my fellow FiSTers
