Clutch and Tranny Oil

Treachery · 04-29-2005, 10:06 AM

The clutch and tranny is less than a year old. What really bothers me the 2nd to 3rd gear grind at high RPM. I'm getting tired of this adjustable clutch cable and i'm thinking of going back to the stock cable.

Treach, I'm with Andy. My clutch doesn't even start grabbing until about 3-4" off the floor. Like Andy said, only about 1" of play up top though. Sounds like your "tranny" problems are really clutch adjustment problems!

Make sure you tighten the jam nut on the adjuster so that it STAYS adjusted.

IEC, think I'll go with the blue loctite so I don't have to heat up my tranny to change it. The blue should just run out of the drain, right?

I resolved the problem. Clutch cable too loose- clutch pedal was lower than the brake pedal.

I tightened the cable- clutch pedal slight higher than the brake and grinding has stopped. My Tremec is shifting 100% smoother as well.

I guess i paniced.
