so im at work (delivering pizzas) and i pulled outta the parking lot in first then second then slip into third...like a long slip. i think "okay maybe that was just me" shift to 4th slips again. stop. put it back in 1st, drive, shifts fine, into second slip third slip 4th slip...

but if i shift VERY slowly and carefully it doesnt slip too much just 2nd and a little in 3rd

the clutch has only ~2500 miles on it but the flywheel is still stock i believe.

please tell me i need a new flywheel/clutch and not a new tranny

Clutch pedal adjusted properly?

If there's grease/oil on the flywheel surface that will cause major slippage, you're supposed to wipe down the flywheel with brake cleaner before install and be careful to keep it clean.

ahh my next question...how to adjust it?

and hopefully the guy who i bought it from knew that when he replaced it but if he didnt keep it clean i dont see why it would just now 2500 miles later start slipping?

There's a few potential causes, none of which should require a new transmission to my knowledge..

Start with the clutch pedal though, it's supposed to be adjusted any time a new clutch is installed.

Slave cylinder in need of replacement.

I think Maxiternity said, he's going to write up a DIY shortly.
