As i was getting home last night i was parking the car in front of the house. The cluth all of a sudden felt softer...i had to feather the clutch a lot just to get it parked because as soon as i let the smallest amount of pressure off the clutch the car would shoot forward. Some other observations are it is very hard to get the car into gear, also, when in gear and idling, the car idles really rough, almost like its going to stall, although from the looks of it the idle rpm is around the same as it usually is. I recently got the cluth replaced w/ a mcleod stage 1, changed the fork, resurfaced the flywheel and got a new bellhousing stud. I have put probably about 10,000 miles on this clutch at most. So what is ur guys' take on this? New tranny time?? or time to go bitch at the clutch installer time?<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 28, 2005, 04:09 PM: Message edited by: zinc00gt ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>nitrous_bob</b> <br /><small>Member # 77</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,28,19,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sounds like the clutch is not disengaging all the way...still have the stock quadrant on there? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>zinc00gt</b> <br /><small>Member # 468</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,28,21,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> From my understanding the clutch quadrant is still the stock one <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Quick 88LX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1950</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,1,28,21,27,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by zinc00gt:<br /><strong> time to go bitch at the clutch installer time? </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I would ask him questions before bitching.
