Default tachometer slipping? - 02-21-2007 , 01:40 PM






this is on an '02 legacy wagon, with 5-spd mt.

under heavy throttle i noticed that the tachometer suddenly dropped
from about 4200 back to 3500. i hadn't shifted, and i didn't feel any
lurching from the engine. everything else seemed normal.

is this clutch slippage (possible but i haven't noticed any other signs
of it), or is there something in the tachometer that might slip like
that?

If the clutch was slipping under power the revs would go up, not down.
