I hate 5 speeds!!!

I am starting to feel the same way. I put that damn steeda quadrant, adjustable cable and firewall adjuster on my hatchback 3 weeks ago when I put my new clutch in and I still have not got that POS to work correctly. I have been fighting this forever now. I had it up on my lift twice yesterday trying to get my clutch adjustments just right. Anytime where I get the clutch at the perfect engagement point I have too much slack in the pedal. So I then take the slack out of the pedal and now my adjustments are all screwed up again. It just bugs the hell out of me, I can't find the perfect median between where I want the clutch to engage and not have any slack in the pedal. I wish i never bought this $130 waste of money. I have thought about putting the stock one back on but I don't feel like taking the front seat out again and breaking out the pry bar to wedge it back into place agian.

Well that is my rant. I am just glad my other car is an automatic. Even though it is screwed up it is still less of a hassel to deal with.

ok first what is up with this smiley face? it just doesn't look right ...

ok now what i was originally going to say ... yeah i'm starting to feel better about getting an automatic now, i think ...

These are some cool new smilies.

Anyway, just got back from a party. It was pretty cool. But now i'm very tired from basically 3 straight nights of partying.

BTW: 5-speeds rule!

Are you using an adjustable clutch cable or the stock replacement?

I have broke 2 stock cables which are supposed to be stronger than any aftermarket and I have broke 2 after market cables as well.......and I have the aluminum quadrant as well as the firewall adjuster.

I think we're due for another Hooters cruise sometime very soon. Actually, yes, VERY soon, cause I gotta go over to Tampa soon. Wednesday would work, or June 1st-3rd. That's about it for me, though. I still have yet to hear anything about the next AutoX, though.

Cataract50 · May 28, 2002

i'm still alive. i think....

sorry to hear about your car white. man. that gotta suck.

still here guys. even if my plans on getting the stang have been pushed back 3 freaking years. (college tuition is killing me.)

but in the mean time i plan on fixing up ol betsy. yup. the 4 banger Ford Ranger (AKA Mazda B2300) no. it won't be rice. it's going to look like a good ol AMERICAN pickup. (just needs to be upgraded to a 4.0 V6.

but back to white. any idea what is wrong with it yet. i thought i was having a bad week when my oil filter broke in half. took my 5 1/2 hours to get that off.

good luck man. btw. when's the next meet at hooters?

droptop93 · May 28, 2002

well, to answer for white who is busy explaining to me where the "flea markey" is...a guy that pulled over and helped us out alittle said it looked like the tail seal on the tranny. i couldnt really tell, there was tranny fluid everywhere...so thats all we know so far.

NotQuik · May 28, 2002

Finally! All I have left is to buy a clutch cable and put fluid in the trans.

NotQuik · May 28, 2002

Its your turn to drive to an event.

I started a thread on it. I am going to bump it.

Hey, congrats on almost having your car fixed. It sucks when they break, huh?

On another note...where's the ol' man? Baglock doesn't seem to post his wit anymore. Did I miss something while I was away?
