Car jerking forward = clutch going out?
Tonight I burned my clutch a few times, and about ten minutes later, on my way home, the car started jerking forward while driving.
It feels as if the clutch grabs randomly, I'm guessing there are bald spots on it. I would be giving it gas and barely moving for a few seconds, and suddenly the car would start out forward for a little while, then lose power again. This cycle kept repeating until I made it home, luckily. I even got pulled over, but the officer saw I had my hazard signals on and was nice about it.
Can anyone confirm if this indeed means the clutch is going out? Or if this is a symptom of something else entirely, please let me know. I just want to be sure, before I waste my money on a clutch and find out that's not the problem.
Speaking of clutches, what would Zilvia recommend? It's just an N/A KA, so I don't need anything crazy, but I would like a clutch that's known to usually last a long time, since I really really dislike replacing the clutch, not fond of it at all, haha.
Thank you for any help!
