ok everyone helped me out with my carb issue thanks for everyones input and thanks to ron at bell performance....

ok now my trans. feels like its going to shit to....when im shifting it is very hard to put it into gear it just recently started this about less than a week ago...i know my clutch is shit so could there be internal damage to my trans as well???

also im not going for big power at the current moment i just want a nice DD to get me to and from work so wat clutch would be a nice replacement...

as always guys thanks in advance for ur input

edit...also my pedel is extreamly low as well, just wanted to add that in

Definately a clutch issue. Get that resolved and go from there. I stock UPR adjustable cable kits, new clutch kits and clutch forks.

staug347 · 07-02-2009, 09:03 PM

**thesource** · 07-02-2009, 09:10 PM

Mike is real stad up guy and wont steer you wrong just to sell you some parts. He did wonders on my tranny as it didnt have reverse, and would grind in every gear when I bought the car. I gave him my trans on a Monday nite @ 7pm, and it was done the next day by 2pm. I dunno his workload these days, but I'll send anyone I know to him for sure

staug347 · 07-02-2009, 09:14 PM

bbk shorties, bbk o/r X, and some flows

glad to hear more postive feedback about him

ya i had a 2000 GT with the black top i fucken miss that car....i sold it due to a crazy baby mama she tore up the top and slashed my fkn tires so i sold my vert and switched to another dream car(but is being a pain in the ass)

oh i found out i have a adjustable cable already no idea wat brand it is...it looks chromish so idk....oh ya and i just got a 600 dollar ticket friday so im not gonna be able to do my clutch any time soon unless the judge just lets me do time served for my warrent and breaking my probation...so either way im fucked

haha j/k j/k

If your clutch pedal is riding low and the trans grinds going in to most gears, it sounds like there isn't enough tension on the cable/clutch fork and when you push the pedal down, it doesn't pull the clutch arm far enough forward to completely disengage the clutch from the flywheel. Jack up the car and have a friend push your clutch in. The clutch fork arm should travel nearly to the front edge of the opening in the bell housing. If it doesn't you need to put more tension on the cable and then go for a test drive. That may be all you need, but if it has been grinding for some time, then the syncros and other parts may be worn beyond a simple clutch adjustment. Hope it helps, but you are in good hands with The Source regardless.

staug347 · 07-07-2009, 10:27 PM

na doesnt grind at all...only it reverse some times....but ya i need the hard wear for the fork cable area....but im getting my clutch installed tomorrow so we will see if anyother problems arise...wish me luck guys...and thanks mike oh one question for ya wats the break in time on that clutch???

**thesource** · 07-08-2009, 09:52 AM

Like with most clutch kits, give it a few hundred miles before getting on it.

KO pony · 07-08-2009, 05:32 PM

i got a question too...when i put my car into third it scrathes (im thinking the syncro) but when i just try to put it into 2nd it will grind and sometimes pop out of gear...i can feel the shifter budging like it doesnt want to go in unless i pull it harder. But when im flooring it or down shift it goes in perfect and doesnt grind. it only does this when im going slow. is this my tranny? or maybe just the clutch and i have an adj clutch cable

staug347 · 07-08-2009, 07:28 PM

dropped off the car to one of my friends this morning got a brand new car a while ago...feels a lot more ballsier if that makes sense ....idk but thanks mike for helpin me out with the clutch and thanks to my crew mate Leo that took the time to put it in for me thats wat a real crew is about helping each other out when we need help....BCM

Definately try to adjust the clutch first. If that does not help, you could have some syncros on their way out.

KO pony · 07-09-2009, 09:29 AM

ok kind dumb question but how do i adjust the adj clutch...

staug347 · 07-09-2009, 09:51 AM

on the clutch fork, there is a cable that leads up from the clutch pedal, if ur tightin it up some more ur pedal will be a lil higher but if u do it to much it will sorta engage the clutch and ur gonna smell clutch a lot....so just do it until it feels a lil better...oh mike dude my clutch was like already metal to metal pretty much only a couple MM left on it a lot of heat spots
