That's right
My car runs surprisingly smooth when first started, but when it warms up, first and reverse are a noisy chore I just finished redoing the clutch cable tube at the firewall by adding a small plate (don't worry, this car is by no means concours) I adjusted the cable and shift linkage accordingly (done it a thousand times) When in gear, the car starts lurching about an inch off of the floor (no pedal board) But, when it is hot, first and reverse grind a little bit and sometimes a lot. Could this be because my cable runs right by the header and the cable stretches due to heat? I feel like my pressure plate it grazing the clutch disc ever so slightly. Why is this only when the car has warmed up? My bushings are all ok (even on the fork pivot) Johnny |

OK
So, I tightened the cable nut two full turns, and it fixed it. I really think the heat was stretching the cable! WOW! I will tighten it some more when I get home No, the driver's door is still wack, but it was a year ago now that I saw your beautiful 6-cylinder on the way to work. Now another teener drives down broadway!!! |

Hard to believe I'm no longer in Oklahoma. Thought I was going to be stuck there for a long time. Oh and my car is running again thanks to my brother in-law and the guy that built the engine Jeff. What color is the teener you keep seeing. |
