zinc02GT · July 27th, 2008, 02:07 AM

if i were you, id get it taken apart again and ask if you can go out in the shop when he has the clutch exposed. watch him.

i love it when the mechs pull me out there to show me whats going on.

DeMello · July 27th, 2008, 02:10 AM

theses no way in hell hes gonna pull it out and reinstall it again for free lol

and i dont wanna have to pay hundreds of dollars to fix this stupid little problem

Roos85 · July 27th, 2008, 02:10 AM

well according to him its fine and hes suppose to be this great mechanic (like the best around lol)

zinc02GT · July 27th, 2008, 02:13 AM

then looks like you need to invest in some jack stands, a floorjack, and a tool set thats fit to do a clutch...

Look, theres very few people I trust working on my car. Theres only 2 people Id let touch my car with somehting I cant do. Ones been to the Nascar inst. for performance mechanics and he specializes on Mustangs, the other one is 40+ years old and has been a Ford Mech for like 20 years...

I wouldnt even let them touch my clutch... I let the older guy rebuild my tranny though.

DeMello · July 29th, 2008, 12:15 AM

so today i took it by the guy that did my gears and he drove it and said he could feel it a little bit but nothing really bad and that he'd probably notice it more and worse if he drove it everyday

he said the clcuth feels fine and the that its probably just a vibration from the driveshaft or something like that

i forget but he said something along the lines of if he bolted the DS up different then wat it was it could shake a little

so i guess my clucth is ok and maybe once i get the steeda adjuster kit it will feel perfect and not shakey

DeMello · July 29th, 2008, 02:40 PM

so you guys think im gonna be fine?

zinc02GT · July 29th, 2008, 02:45 PM

A shaky driveshaft will cause your shifter to shake...

Put your stock shifter back on and see if thats the case.

HMUSN · July 30th, 2008, 12:46 PM

so what exactly is your question man?

DeMello · July 30th, 2008, 12:51 PM

wat kind of damage is being cause by my pedal shaking?
wat woudl you suggust to fix it?
should i get the steeda clucth adjuster kit?
if i do should i just use the stock cable

thanks hmusn

zinc02GT · July 30th, 2008, 02:26 PM

use the stock cable
get the kit minus the cable
if the kit doesnt fix it, get it redone
you could damage your throwout bearing and pressure plate
