First 5.0 5 Speed.... Whirl Sound..

ok, i've owned several aod mustangs but this is my first t-5.

it's a 92 vert, just got it, not positive if it's an original 5 speed car, is there a way to check by looking at the title? or vin?


tonight i was trolling around the block getting my fix and I knowtised a few things.

Keep in mind, I've been adjusting the clutch cable,

1. It did'nt want to shift as well as when I brought it home, it would grind a little, but I really gotta push the clutch in hard.

2. when I got it back the car smelt like burnt trans fluid and the cabin had smoke in it. I've let the car sit and run in the drive way for a good chunk of time with no smoke till now.

3. the car starts without the clutch pedal pushed in.

4. I un adjusted the clutch and it seemed better...

thoughts?

I"ve never adjusted a clutch nor owned a t-5 car so I'm in the dark...

It was a couple gears, I think it was the clutch cable. I re spun the adjuster on the firewall and it seemed better,

Think the smoke was the clutch?

Thing I forgot to add, when I would leave it in gear but have the clutch in, it would sound like the tranny was spinning..

My main concern was the smoke

Alrighty, found a local mustang guy who was nice and stopped by and looked at her for me. Turns out the clutch is just fine, It's just a matter of me getting used to the dang thing. He let me check out his stock clutch to feel the difference in weight, man... mine is heavy, but the points all engaged the same, it goes though all the gears great. My smoke was exhuast from a leak, gotta get that figured next... fun..... thanks for your guys help!
