Hi guys,
I have an ancient 1996 RAV4 AWD Auto with an odd behavior. The car accelerates fairly slowly but normally up to about 2.5 - 3,000 rpm. After that I can often put my foot on the gas and see no change in the revs at all (& no notable acceleration)
so,
1. If the auto clutch was slipping I would expect to see the revs increase, so its not that.
2. If the Tach was at fault then I would expect the car to accelerate despite the tach readings.
Only thing I can think of is the clutch is slipping but the tach meter is linked not to the engine but to the drive shaft output - which seems odd design? Does anyone know?
Cheers
Quentin
