I had a FMS HD clutch put in about 15,000 miles ago by a buddy who has done alot of mustang clutches, so he knows what he is doing. It's been fine til about a month ago, when I noticed that it's hard to get it into any gear, so I adjust it out with my steeda firewall adjuster. Works fine for a bit, then the same thing happens again. Lots of reistance between shifts. One day it was working fine, then I did a 1-2 speedshift at 5k, and after that it was hard as hell to get into any gear. Also my rear main seal has been leaking for awhile, so can that get onto the clutch? One thing I'm going to check is to see if the firewall adjuster is turning on it's own. But I have to get this fixed soon before I accidentally grind the **** out of my gears. Could my throwout bearing be bad already? Bent shift fork? Thanks for any help.
