Try a reliable tranny or mechanics shop, I find that dealers are way to expensive to have major work done, dealer shops charge close to 100 dollars per hour.

RE: my poor clutch..

Funny I was just about to ask that, its an 2001. I tried what the manual suggested by pulling up on the clutch pedal, its says its supose to adjust itself. Is this correct or is there another way. Thanks

RE: my poor clutch..

yeah thats the correct method. or you can do it alot easier by getting a firewall adjuster. thats what I use. You may have too much play in your clutch cable??? hey its a possibility

Maybe, it does seem like the clutch is not disengaging all the way.

RE: my poor clutch..

Also I smelt the clutch, it was stick in gear and when I got it out it would not go back into gear, it makes a noise and the pedal is very soft compaired to what it was..... I think its screwed.
