Squeaking and accelerating VERY slow. Whats wrong?
Its driving as if I 'm getting no traction, when I actually have new tires in the back. Whenever I start driving from a stop or I shift gears, I have to take the RPMs really high just to get moving. I can occasionally heard a squeaking noise coming from the engine bay that sounds like steam leaving a kettle.
What could it be?
I forgot to mention that my AC compressor is going bad, so that may be the reason I hear that wierd noise. I think the AC has been on each of the 3 times I've heard the noise.
So far I'm thinking its the clutch. My problem is the same as this guy...

If it is the clutch...about how much would it cost for a shop to do it? Is this something I can do at home with some help?
