Hey everyone
I picked up a 94 gt a couple of months ago and shortly after the clutch started slipping under mild and hard acceleration but the trans shifted great with no grinds or problems getting into any gear. So i picked up a brand new oem clutch kit and flywheel and installed it this weekend by myself and believe me it was no fun job with 4 jack stands and 2 jacks lol. Before i installed the clutch the clutch pedal had good pressure and after i put the new clutch in the cable had tons a slack come to find out it popped off the upper hook on the quadrant (steeda) put it back on and still had to adjust the firewall adjuster out some to get the pressure back. While i was replacing the clutch the bottom of the trans mount that holds the 2 bolts to the crossmember so i called around to see if i could get a new one and NOONE had it in stock, being my DD i just put 2 wide washers in ther and new bolds just to hold it in place till i got a new one (i know stupid idea) but i cant be without a car. While i had the tranny off i noticed the motor mounts were pretty shot as the motor rocked back and forth pretty bad and they were cracked. The moral to this story is ive had the clutch in for a week now and it seemed to be doing good other than feeling alil different untill today. Well when im sitting still while the car is running its a b**ch to get it in 1st or 2nd sometimes impossible and sometimes (while moving) going from 2nd to 3rd, now it doesnt grind ever just hard to get it in. The clutch seems to engauging and disengauging properly. Upon clutch install i propperly torqued everything down, flywheel required 75-85 i did 80lb, pressure plate 12-24 and i did 22lb. I also replaced the TO bearing and pilot bearing. Could my problems be due to the tranny and motor mounts being bad or on a serious note the syncros going bad, or did i do something wrong. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated cosidering this is my daily and dont really have the money to do any major work. thanks john
