Check this by going under the car and making sure the end of the cable is at least 1/8th of an inch AWAY from the clutch fork... -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : 166 Merlo FELONY MOTORSPORTS Member # 1549 posted                              do you hear a clicking type noise when you shift? check the motor mounts as well, I had the same problem. -------------------- '89 - Boss Coupe '70 - Drop Cutthang '68 - Cougnut '87 - 0166, Its real Posts: 3954 | From: Thebay | Registered: Jul 2002  |  :
