    cluth problem

    so just recently when im driving my car il put in the clutch to stop like everybody else does but when im stoped and sitting there with the clutch in the car will start to lowly move forward, my question is why does this happen am i low on clutch fluid, is the clutch wearing out or slipping or what?, im kinda lost on ideas here and anything would be awsome, thanx for any ideas

    Our cars don't have a hydraulic clutch. How does the pedal feel? There is an adjustment on the clutch cable. If you reach down between the radiator and transmission you can feel a big adjuster that you can turn by hand.

    Your clutch cable probably needs adjustment. What may be happening is that the clutch isn't disengaged comletely, which causes the transmission to stay partially engaged to the engine. To fix this you first need to find your clutch cable (thick black plastic sheath that runs to the front of the transmission. If you follow it down to the transmission, you'll see a lever to which the cable is hooked up. Slightly above that is a bracket with an adjuster nut through which the cable passes. To allow the clutch to disengage completely you will need to turn the adjuster nut counter-clockwise. Adjust this until the car no longer creeps at stops. Hope this helps.

    If you adjust it & if your car still creeps. I would bet it is the pressure plate or throw out bearing. Get a re-manufactured clutch & put it in. Sure your car could use one.

    Why get a re-manufactured clutch! When he could get better one from nopi. It holds alot better, just abit stiffer than stock. an its only $300 an something, or he could rea an act street clutch for about the same price. I had a re-manufactured clutch in my car. It didnt last long!!!! Make sure you replace that throwout bearing even if it looks good!!! I had one to come apart on me. Good thing I wasent far from the house. I had to shift without the clutch.
