when im coming to a stop or go to push the clutch in the rpms jump from 600 idle to 1,000 and back down till i stop. i have a underdrive pulley on it so sometimes it drops lower but the company even says it will do that cuz its turning so slow. i cleaned the tps sensor and checked my other sensor to see if that was the issue just fixes it for a couple miles

Hi:
Have you had the computer checked for trouble codes? If not, go to a nationally recognized auto parts store like Auto Zone. They will scan it for free.

I realize you cleaned the TPS, but that is my first guess. When scanned, we'll know better.

Let me know what you find.
