hello all, this is the first post so i apologize if i make any error or break posting rules.

I have a 2006 X manual OR, just bought it back in Feb.
about 2 weeks ago i started to get the heatshield vibration on the driver side
- ok easy fix =D
shortly after i had an issue were i could only start the X by pressing the clutch start button.
-np came down to the little button that the clutch compresses when you start.
about a week ago my driverside window started giving me issues.
-bad motor (imo)
2 days ago i got an issue where i have no power from the X.... not electrical power but get up and go power. in first gear i had to rev to about 2500-3000 rpms just to get moving... all of the gears are like that. it seems to work a little better once warmed up. the rpms also jump a it when i try to accelerate then even back off.
-this... i have no idea what the prob is lol

thank you guys in advance for ur time and any info on this latest problem would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be it's time for a new clutch. How many miles on the truck?

When you say you have no get up and go power, does the engine at all sound funny? When you have it sitting in neutral does it vibrate or variate in RPM or give any sign that you might be having engine trouble?

If the engine seems perfectly fine then the clutch is definitely a good place to start. It would make sense if the clutch isn't making full contact pressure when you release the clutch pedal that only a small portion of the engine power would be going to try turning the wheel, therefore you're needing to generate a lot more power to get it to move.

It also could be one of the clutch cylinders doing that...

How many of those miles have you driven? Are you a proficient stick driver? 77k is pretty low for the clutch to go, but one can be ruined in 1 day with bad enough driving. Maybe slave cylinder?

Slave cylinder makes a lot of sense. I had an old Nissan that when that had problems the gears would grind even though the clutch was fully depressed. Kind of the opposite problem of what you're having, but could be similar components.

That's one of the issues with used is you really have no idea how the previous owner treated it. That old Nissan car I drove I had purchased from a high school kid who treated the clutch pretty bad, and I eventually just changed out the clutch, lines, and cylinders to negate the issues.

Hope you're able to get that sorted soon and as painlessly as possible!
