I reinstalled the engine after a rebuild and for some reason that I can't figure out the clutch seems to go out of adjustment when the car warms up.
I park it and let it cool, the clutch works just fine. Pedal play and everything is normal until it warms up again. Seems to be a bit more play but when warm I can't get first or reverse with grinding. Starting in gear with the clutch in, the car still moves. How can this be? |

Did you connect the ground strap from thr trans to body? If not the clutch cable acts as a ground for the engine.
Also check for clutch tube attachment in the tunnel. Remove the shifter bolts and push the shifter to the passenger side. Depress the clutch and see if the tube moves. |

The ground strap is in place and the tube is secure. It had broken loose many years ago and I made a firewall fix as well as a fix in the tunnel to secure it. Again, not sure how heat would cause this to change. I also replaced the cable with a new one. |

Was it wirking with the old cable? Still have it? |
