Ive done a search. but i not getting the info i needed. I jsut finished doing my swap. Im 100% sure that i installed the throw-out bearing and installed the clutch correctly. The car is on jackstands with no axles in it. i started the car. and the motor runs smooth. But the weird thing is i can shift and go through the gears without depressing the clutch? wouldnt it grind while the motor is running or wont go into gear? im thinking its the clutch adjustment. There is play on the top and little tension on the bottomof the pedal, and when i try to shift gears pressing the clutch it seems like the clutch dont seem to feel like is grabbing? am i dummy or im just totally lost? something go wrong here or i jsut need to adjust the clutch cable?.

 

How much play is there in the shifter lever on the tranny?

 

i cant really tell cuase i dont know how its suppose to be.. but all i know that there is tension on the bottom of the pedal. and alot of lose play when the pedel goes back up.

 

Move the lever on the tranny up and down and see how much it moves.
There is supposed to be very little movement, like .02" or something.

 

ok ill try that thanks.. i just hope that its not my clutch or tranny that is messed up. but ill try that when the weather here clears up.

 

I had similar probs when I first put mine together. If you want, I can tell you the exact distance that the lever is supposed to be when I get home.

 

ok thanks. all i know its just there.. i dunnohow to adjust it or feel where that right place to adjust it. all i hope is my tranny and clutch is fine. like i said i can go through the gears with out depressing the clutch and i dont feel the clutch grabbing.. ill try to take apic of it and tell me what you think i done wrong.
