clutch shot or need adjustment?

[tglenn]

I bought my daughter herr first car to go to college. a '90 240SX. For 2 years all has been well but she called and says after she shifts and hits the gas the engine revs but the car picks up speed slowly. Sounds like a clutch to me but the's in TX and I'm in Montana. Any chance an adjustment could cause this? The caer has an aftermarket clutch and light flywheel but thats all I know. A step by step on freeplay would be great as detaield as possible since I will be guiding her via hte phone. Thanks PS any honest shop recommendations in El Paso? Tracy

sounds like a bad clutch, but adjusting it wouldn't hurt.

your best bet for instructions is the factory service manual. you can get one online and so can your daughter so she can follow along.
