Remember what section this is in? RK your going to have to get away from the computer long enough to try a few things. Posting ten new tech threads a day isn't going to help you. The problem you are describing is probably something simple or its all in your head.

Maybe your clutch is slipping? Why don't have somebody that has atleast some clue about cars drive your car. I am sure the answer is a simple one.

DSMs don't fix themselves, drop the keyboard and let go of the mouse, then pick up a wrench. You will find that they really not that complicated, its already fucked up, whats the worst that can happen?

Maybe your clutch is slipping? I wouldn't think so, that should reduce wheel spin instead of increase it. ;)

It's not the clutch buddy. I've blown clutches before and I know when they start slipping.
By the way, the problem isn't in my head just because the clicking sound went away. Facts don't change just because you think it's in my head. The wheels (front) still sound like they're slipping just a wee bit the sound is pretty real. I'm driving fine though and there is no problem driving. I'm just scared that something'll break off when I'm doing 90.

ARE you guys putting me on????
I was under the car for half an hour and didn't find anything that looked like a valve. I also checked the vfaqs, dsmtalk, buschur and tuners - NOTHING pertains to a flamidation valve or has a pic. I even did a search on Google and NOTHING came up.
What does the flamidation valve look like? Size?

I'll see if I can have my parents take a picture of mine on my Laser. My dad was helping me yesterday when I took mine off and checked it over.

Well if you read your thread title there genius you say spinning in all gears except 5th. There is no fucking way in hell you are spinning your tires in 4th gear and probably not in 3rd either. Thats why I said its in your head.

Like I said, your going to have to pick up a wrench and check it out. Pull the tranny and see what you find. The problem is too vague to diagnose from a computer. That would be like calling an IS help desk because you have a rash on your cock. Its not going to help, eventually it will bug you enough and you will have to treat it on your own.

PS. Sell your car.

They put a little black rubber cap over it. Did you think they were going to have a valve floating in the breeze so a rock could get stuck in it?
