Ok, so I have some questions for you all...
It seems my clutch doesn't FULLY disengage until the pedal is *all* the way to the floor... I tested this by keeping the car level, fully depressing the pedal, giving it some gas (car didn't move at all)... then slowly lifting it up while revving to see where it starts catching. It catches almost immediately, so when I shift I need to mash the pedal to the floor.
I did the clutch adjustment (1 notch) and this fixes the problem, but now I'm unsure if I'm putting undue pressure on the clutch by having it partially disengaged all the time, even when my foot's off it... not necessarily enough to make it slip, but maybe enough to wear something?
What's the best solution, with the stock setup? What would a firewall adjuster and quadrant do for me?
Second part of the question: It seems my Tri-Ax is VERY notchy... sometimes it goes smoothly into gear, but usually it really clunks in there - this is with the clutch pedal fully depressed (even after the 1-notch adjustment.) I didn't think much of it until I drove my friend's stock 03 Cobra with the new clutch kit.... his car shifts SO EASY and so smooth. Is there a problem with my shifter? Clutch? Transmission?
I'm so confused =(
Thanks!
