That’s what I’ve figured so far. I tried adjusting the shifter cables but im pretty sure i failed miserably at that since the gearing seems to have shifted to the right… not sure how its possible but it is what it is. So tomorrow will be a new day. What im going to try and do first is adjust the shifter cables properly. Next im going to bleed the slave/master cylinder and see what that does. Then go from there. ---

What should I be looking for exactly? The fluid in the master cylinder is full and I didn’t see any leaks. Could the slave cylinder need to be adjusted? ---

Then go from there. shift cables are a cinch to adjust. if you dont know what youre doing dont mess with it. i could realign your cable/shifter in less than 5 minutes. its very very easy the master isnt like a honda. its non adjustable… bleed the clutch, its worth a shot. ---

Wayne sent me a video on how to adjust it… the steps were very simple but somehow I managed to do something wrong. I just don’t have the time to mess with it tonight.

When I was driving today it was all the gears… some are worse than others in different situations though. 3rd and 4th seemed to be the best. ---

if you pump the clutch acouple times then put it in gear does it still do the same thing? ---
