HELP! My 1992 manual transmission Acura Integra GS is having major acceleration problems. Mostly between 1st and 3rd gears. If I'm at a complete stop and try to accelerate, it is very slow and jumpy. It happens about 90% of the time. When going from 1st to 2nd gear it jumps a little and takes a few seconds to accelerate. Any ideas?

Thank you!!

It might be a problem with your tranny. transmission seals, valves. somethin like that

How many miles on the car? How many miles on the clutch. It could be worn out and may need to be replaced.

Sounds like its your clutch slipping. Is it reving up any while your trying to accelerate?

i would really check your oxygen sensor if your having trouble accelerating.

by the sounds of it your clutch is spent have a tech look at it asap before it causes more probs and cost u more than just replacing a clutch

Well rather than do like everybody else has, and just blurt out things that it "could be", lemme ask this. Do the RPM's go up when you shift and the car stay still? Does the car stall? Do you have any problems getting it in or out of gear? If I think of any other questions I'll be sure to ask them.
