Car: 1996 240sx w/ KA24DE 5 speed
So I took the car to the track 2 weeks ago and it did fine. Brought it back and a week later it sat over the 4 day. I went to drive it and noticed 2 things:
1.) E-brake was stuck on(fixed that)
2.) Car seemed to accelerate slowly. I thought at the time that it was because the ebrake / caliper was stuck. Now that that's all been taken care of though, I know it's not the problem.
So here's a description of what happens:
When I shift into a gear and press the gas it'll rev really quickly, like it's halfway in neutral. After a couple seconds it seems to catch though and the car will pick up. The revs will drop by about 500-1k when this happens, and then a few seconds later they'll pick back up again like normal.
This happens in every gear (well, haven't checked reverse yet).
I haven't changed the transmission oil out since I bought the car in July, so I think that could be the problem. Any other ideas?
