Just as it reads, why does my car seem to shift hard(not smooth) after the car is running for a while??? Specially when i am at astop light and try to put it in 1st or Reverse. My Stang is an 86 GT stock except for FLows.... Please help..

man my car does the same thing, sometimes im sitting at a light holding up traffic, struggling for 1st gr, it sux, i was told it is a "stretched cable", i think they can actually heat up and stretch, but not sure, the remedy to this is an "adjustable quadrant", such as steeda, bbk, or i heard replacing the stock cable helps, and is not to expensive, i know its not clutch wear, cuz my clutch is brand new.
but hope you get it fixed, i just can afford a quadrant now http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif later....

...i was wondering why it was hard to get into 1st gear and reverse myself. I thought it could be the cable but i wasn't sure.
But yeah, i have the same problem as you Joeys86stang
