OK i have my engine and trans in and it fired up first crank!!! but...


when I step on the clutch no matter at what level of adjustment the engine revs?!! ... anybody got any ideas?

sounds like your throtle cable is wrapped around your clutch linkage.

Good chance the clutch cable is wrapped around the throttle cable...

check by the peddle cluster

Cables gone twisty twisty When you push on the gas your clutch should engage, and you tach cable now runs the speedo and the speedo cable activates the thermastat and the thermostat cable now runs the tach. All of this can be offset by putting the right rear tire on the front left and the front right tire on the rear right. Fill the gas tank with half kerosene and half jet fuel and turn your shift lever around. Oh and don't forget to install a RHD pedal cluster

Did you put in a new clutch or throttle cable?

hmm I guess I will be chking my cables ...

Chucking or checking ??

gotta love a smartass, right?

tere are smart asses that post here .. I am shocked!!!

Hey I've got an image to maintain O.k.? I'm not around as much as the "regulars" so I have to make good when I am here

Uh, are you guys saying the cables are twisted up?

Yes. They are twisted around each other

Yes, I was being facetious-

3. lacking serious intent; concerned with something nonessential, amusing, or frivolous: a facetious person.

Uh, are you saying your being facetious?

Ummm, yeah, I think so.
Maybe.

You asked a q. I answered it. i don't need an english lesson. I speak Okie just fine

ok in all seriousness ... the cables as they exit the firewall are completely away from each other and I didn't do any thing with them on the engine swap... is it possible they just got a lil tweeked from the engine bay side to twist them in the tunnel ?!

how much does it really take to make this sort of thing happen?

Good chance that are hung up on each other in the tunnel. Check near where the cables attach to the pedal cluster and go back towards the rear firewall from there. A small mirror and a flashlight will be your friends there.

Sorry, I was just trying to be funny.
Maybe I'm not funny after all. I've never had anyone give me the finger before on here.

LOL no need to blip the throttle on a shift

good luck ironing out the issue
