Ive got a high mileage, 5-speed Camaro. Whenever I shift gears the car sputters for awhile (especially if Im going up hill or shifting in the higher gears). Its also very slow to accelerate and I can smell something burning. I thought it might be my clutch but I had that replaced just two years ago. I also had a tune-up recently and new water pump installed. Could it be my transmission?
