No one else?


Another question. Is it suppose to go into gear when the car is off and the clutch not pressed in?

Might be your throw out bearing, clutch was improperly installed, tranny... just guesses.

If the tranny goes into gear when the car is off, it's your clutch/cable/quadrant....probably can't handle the spec setup. I went w/ the steeda setup. It's a PITA to install, but works like a champ. I put a walkthrough for the install in the tech stickies.

I torqued the clutch at 30 ft/lbs.

Ok I ordered the BBK 1505 clutch cable and Quadrent, without the firwall adjuster.

My next question is, Do I need that Firewall adjuster? Is it nesessary to have it?

I just bought one and the cable was to long without the adjustable quadrant ( BBK ).........went and bought the adustable peice and it worked like a charm!
