    Question update and ???'s

    I took my car in...no valve cover leak...got free inspection sticker...needed some major torque to pull plugs and they looked good (white powdered) and they werenot covered in oil as I was afraid. The mechanic noticed my clutch was tight and pulled on my cable to "adjust" it....I'm not sure what he did...now I have a lot of play in my clutch...As I have always driven it the old stiff way I don't know what a good clutch is supposed to feel like...now I almost stall out as I'm not used to the new soft feel....what I'm wondering is why is my shift point so low....almost to the floor to get to neutral...is it normal for 3 geez?!?

    if you don't like it this way, you can always adjust it just as easily as he did. That's the beauty of cable clutches.

    Lemme know if you wanna give it a shot, and I'll give a real quick how to.
