i have a tko transmittion and im having problems with the car going into gear. Centerforce is looking at the clutch now. right by the bell housing there is the fork that comes out and you will see your clutch cable hooked to it. You can use wrenches and tighten and loosen your cable, that should adjust it. Try adjusting it to where the clutch starts to grab like 2 or 3 inches from the floor. What kind of alum driveshaft did you have? Im having trouble finding one with a 30 spline yoke.

Leave the cable just a little loose at the fork, with about 1/4" of play.
