I've been waiting on my FC since september.. I was waiting on an ACT clutch that finally came in. I had problems with getting it here, but now it's finally here. I also had the Apex duals installed. It sounds pretty good. I have the silencers but I'm most likely not installing them.. it isn't real loud to me. Right when my clutch had to be replaced it was a pain to switch gears.. I mean just sitting in neutral and going through the gears was just very notchy to the point of mayhem.. well that same notchy, aggrivating problem still persist.. I didn't realize until I was on my way home.. (I was too thrilled with driving it after so long..) Anyways, I don't know what to do.. what do you guys think is wrong with my hard *** shifting?? I really need some help.. I'm going back to the shop tomorrow to pick up my bill.. and I'll definately mention it to him then. But I wasn't sure what to call it or what would have to be replaced so it would shift like it's suppose to.. any help guys?? She was so dirty.. I mean just pathetic... but I gave her a good washing. I gotta go to work now to show her off. thanks alot.

Eric

did you try adjusting the clutch? That solved the hard shifting problem I had

when I got my other vert running.

get a bushing kit, replace them and drain the old oil and change it... you might as well drain the tranny while at it.....i'd say its a 2:00 job

I forgot, I already had a new bushing installed.. so, I'm guessing it's probably something to do with the transmission..

try adjusting the clutch, you only need a 10mm wrench the adjustment is

right behind the clutch pedal.
