MY Nubira recently started slipping a bit.

I have the manual 5 speed and it goes in and out of gear just fine.

However, if i step on the accelerator more then slightly it starts to slip for a few seconds then catches and goes unless i push even harder in which case it slips out then goes again etc.

Id does this in every forward gear but not reverse.

I think but am not positive that it is a problem with the pressure plate on the clutch what do you think ?

Also does my maek and model have a clutch that can be adjusted ?

And lastly what can i expect to fix this problem ?

Hey Hideous,
Sounds like a complete clutch job is in order, friction plate, pressure plate and throwout bearing. Its also recommended to get the flywheel resurfaced too!!

yep you need a clutch plate its fairly cheap the problem is labor since the transmission has to be opened.. the plate is basicly a brake pad that wears down just the same and when low stops funtioning properly

Suggested Repair

Replace the clutch friction disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing, and have the flywheel resurfaced. The clutch disc is inexpensive, but labor is higher because the transmission must be removed.

Conversation Summary

A 2001 Daewoo Nubira with a manual five-speed shifts normally but slips under more than light acceleration in every forward gear, then catches; reverse does not slip. The owner suspected the pressure plate and asked whether the clutch is adjustable and what repair to expect. Experts recommended a complete clutch job, including the friction disc, pressure plate, and throwout bearing, plus flywheel resurfacing. A later reply noted that the disc is relatively cheap but labor is significant because the transmission must come out. No one estimated how long the slipping clutch would last.
