There is an access hole towards the rear of the car on the same tunnel the shifter is bolted to. It's about maybe 18 inches from the shifter? You can get a vice grips on the shift rod through that access point.
And, remember to remove the vice grips after you make the adjustment. If you don't, you will wonder why you still can't shift into all gears. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Funny you should say that . . . last time I adjusted the clutch I'd left a small pair of vice grips on the clutch cable rod between the pulley and the throw out arm. I was under there recently and noticed something shiny. Stayed on for a few thousand miles. |
