yeah the clutch pedal is bolted down well. i checked out the shifter cables and noticed that the brackets on the tranny were moving quite a bit so i re-tightened the bolts, one was a little loose..and re-intalled the shifter cable clips... that helped out a lot with the shifter feel. as far as the master cylinder goes. im almost positive the first seal on it is shot, so im gonna replace it later today and go from there. otherwise im still having problems w/ 1-2 synchro... it wont grind if i shift below 3k...anything above that and forget it. so ive either timed my shifts to get second, otherwise skipped it and went for 3rd. anybody got a Part # for that shaft that the 1-2 syncrho is on since ive heard that the synchro isnt servicable?
