    Lately my car has been acting kinda funny, no problem when just cruising but when you kind get on it revs up but lags to get moving if that makes sense, hoping this maybe a simple fix I already have several thousand more into this car then I want to lol

    Sounds like your clutch might be slipping? Does the engine rev but the car not speed up? If so, it's a clutch.....

    I'm thinking it's time to get out from under this car it's looking like the previous owner took zero care of it now I'm paying for it

    If you decide to replace it Valeo makes a complete kit that replaces the noisy dual mass flywheel. I've done several of them and people really like them, much lighter action than the OEM clutch and about half the cost.

    How many miles on this car?

    You can't buy a 170K car and not expect to do some work on it.....
