Well guys, I just got her back from the shop. Ran me a small total of $400 for parts (clutch and new clutch fork and 3 quarts of mercon V from where p.o had gear oil in it) and labor! Can't use first gear though it wants to keep popping out so i have to use 2nd to take off but I was aware of that when I got the car. I do smell a faint burning clutch smell though. Is that from where the new clutch is bedding down? Or what? My pedal still sits up high too.
