My car has had problems getting into gear for the past month. Started off replacing the stock clutch cable and quadrant with a adjustable one and that fixed it for about a week. Had to keep tightening up the cable about every 4-5 days and was steadily getting worse. Bought a new clutch since I knew I would have to drop my tranny to figure out what was going on and a new clutch fork since I have heard the stock one can bend some on you. Come to find out the bolt that the clutch fork pivots on inside of the bellhousing had stripped out almost all of the threads to secure it to the bellhousing. Went and got a heli coil kit from autozone, installed and wow what a difference, car feels soooo much better...my flywheel was pretty bad also, vibrated alot when downshifting but since I got it reground it is smooth as silk.

Just wanted to share this bit of info incase anybody else is having the same symptons and instead of thinking it might be your clutch and spending that money on it, might be the same problem as mine and you can fix it for about $30.
