For some reason it requires alot of reving for my car to even move. I'm guessing the reason is because my clutch maybe gone and its not gripping to alllow for wheel spin. so it only revs and barely grips?

Sounds like the clutch is gone...

So you put it into gear and you rev the engine but the car doesn't move?

yeh i put it into gear, and it does. i rev up and it moves in gear one, swap gear to 6-7 to push it. gear 3 5-6 to move it more gear 4. doesn't do much.

alright well just planned to replace the clutch. guessin it might be possible to do a DIY job for cheaper is there a guide. I was also thinking of changing the brake pads considering it feels like its slipping.

clutch is definately something you need to do before it brakes, and highly recommended that you do not just follow an internet guide for that

A firewall is the wall of painted metal at the back of your engine bay. It has the VIN number badge, its where your a/c and wires come out of. Its not a replaceable item of the car. You must have it mistake for something else. Good stuff on the price though! :thumbsup:

the firewall is like your roof, you dont just 'replace' it, its not a consumable part.

ask your mech to point out the 'firewall' he changed
