Default Little help :)

One of the things i hate the most is when other people drive my car. Especially inexperienced ones with a stick. Im worried now because my mom and a girl that i know drove my car and my mom rides teh clutch and the girl i know lets it out way too fast giving the bucking bronco, and barking of the tires. Is there anything that i should be worried about? Let me know of all possibilities, I really baby my car. Also does anyone have dash rattles in the top corner of teh dash? If so have you fixed them, and how? Does anyone also have the rattles in the stick? Cant stand them and would like to rid that also. Thanks for all help

Yeah, true that. Just sometimes you get stuck in situations where you have no choice. And the rattles is actually like a rubbing where the dash meets another plastic piece, up in the top left.

hmm, thats strange, mine is more of a minor rattle. dunno, just turn the music up louder.
and what sort of situations are you getting into where you can't drive YOUR car? the only excuses are:
a. you are dead
b. you are tied up
c. you are dead and tied up

The Tremec 3650 is virtually indestructable. Just accept the mishaps. If they spill coffee, it's worse. If they crash, it's horrid.

I've read alot of complaints and TSBs here, and I've never read a single thing about someone breaking the 3650 or burning up the clutch, despite the proliferation of power adding drag racing bad MFers. I'm going to take my 19 year old daughter out in my car so she can learn to drive a clutch. I'm not worried about the tranny or the clutch at all, I'm worried she might hit a curb or crash into something...

As far as the dash rattle, I haven't noticed one.

I used to be a nice guy too, but NOONE drives my car. Not even my wife. She understands.

I drive my car, and thats IT! haha, my dad is the only person who i have let drive it without me being in the car. and other then that, its been me, or someone at the ford dealer when it was in for a few fixes. My girl doesnt know how to drive a stick, so i'm not to worried. i told her a while back i'd teach her, but she doesnt want to try it out on my car,a nd i'm not to hip on that either. currently i'm looking for a winter "beater" and i'll teach her on that! haha, she still wont drive my stang though...hey there's TRUST, and there is MY STANG, and I dont TRUST her with MY STANG! haha...
