This happens in reverse. I don't know if this is an issue so I ask.

One in a while, in reverse, I would slip the clutch, slightly, and the RPM drop to 500 and the engine starts to shake and revves back up to 1000. The RPM drop and shaking start after I disengage the clutch so that makes it a little unsual. Does this ever happen to anyone?

Thanks,
Jason

 

give it more gas...

 

 

why give it more gas when its out of gear (neutral)? that doesnt make much sense.

 

why would you say it's in neutral when the OP clearly said it's in reverse...?

 

i have a similar problem also. when i start to go in reverse the car shakes alot and seems like it wants to stall wether i give it gas or not. (also have the clutch about half way engaged, would that be a problem?) also shakes sometimes when taking off normally in 1st...

 

maybe the clutch needs to be replaced...just a guess.

 

my car did that if i didnt let it warm up before i drove it! Let it warm up before you drive it and see if that helps!

 

^it does it even when warm...maybe diff?

 

scorched flywheel caused by the clutch going bad is my guess. But it's just a guess. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can diagnose it for you.
