I was looking at that but you have to be a PCA member to go there right? I'm gonna sign up for that today I think..

What time is it at etc?

I'm supposed to change my rear rotors and pads tomorrow, but i guess I'm over priced at that as well???

$200 for rotors + Pads

Was this happening before your "Clutch Pop" episode? If not, I bet you might have got the clutch cable too tight.

The clutch feels much more loose now though.. dunno how to explain it, but i dont need as much power to floor it as i had to before it poped.. But this issue was already there before the clutch poped!

OK, then I am a little stumped.

To check the clutch freeplay: Grab your clutch pedal and PULL TOWARDS YOU, you should have about 1/2" of pull, if more than that - clutch cable needs to be tightened, if there is no slack, your clutch is too tight.

OMG. Do you know what a slipping clutch feels like? If not, get someone else to drive it for you and report.

And please, if it's not crystal clear yet, DON'T convert from FI to carbs.

Glad you're here... please keep us posted before turning it over to your genious mechanic.

NOTHING, it feels like its as far back as possible... Can't move it at all, Clutch to tight? How can it feel like its more loose though when i press the pedel down...

Do i adjust that at the Clutch Pull Piece?

No idea how a slipping clutch feels like.. maybe but not by the wording.. remember i have english as a second language (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) although i've been here for 3 years now.. But they dont teach you car terms in Beg. Eng...

I guess I'm naive.. Its much easier to trust people in Sweden, so i guess i need to obtain the knowledge i need to not get F-ed over...

Thanks for helping in everyway! I'm so glad I found this place! NOBEL PRICE to te founder (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

Yes your clutch is too tight. Go under the car where the pulley is for the clutch cable, at the end of the cable there is the throwout arm, there at the arm you make your adjustments. Loosen up the double nut (or nylock nut) at the end of the cable. Go back and check your freeplay at the pedal. It is a little back and forth to get your 1/2" and then lock the double nuts down (tighten them against each other.
