My 95 Geo/Prizm's clutch has such a problem: at zero speed (full stop), if I put into the first gear, I have to lift my left foot VERY slowly (slower than normal) to let the clutch engage; otherwise the clutch/car trembles. Once the car is on the road, putting into 3rd-5th gears has no problem at all. Does this mean the clutch is worn and a new one is needed? But I roughly remeber I heard if the clutch is worn, the car can't go high speed because the clutch is unable to engage with higher gears. My case seems the opposite. Can anyone instruct me what's going on with my car's clutch? By the way, the car has 88k milage now and I only drive locally. Thanks in advance for any information.---Yuan
