Alright so about two weeks ago I bought a 97 Mustang GT (stage 2 racing clutch and short shifter). Shifting always felt a little bit harder than I thought it should of, I figured that's just how a short shifter is. PS this was my first manual car. I got the hang of it about a week ago and a couple days after it started to act up... So first, it's hard as hell to get it into reverse, recently ive gotten stuck attempting to put it in reverse for a good couple of minutes. The car would also shake like hell sitting in first, almost like I was letting off of the clutch with no gas.. I read the manual and did the clutch adjustment where you pull up on the clutch pedal and push it back down. It seemed to have fixed all of my problem. That lasted about 2 days and now it's getting back to the bs. So I can't get it to go in reverse, putting it into first is a pain sometimes, it shakes a little while at a stand still in first with the clutch to the floor, shifting into gear while driving isn't too smooth either. The car came with pretty much everything but a pro charger. Someone please help...
