you know his car looks better then new,I'm just gonna wipe the grime and send it as daily duty calls.The bottom of my car looks like that
Check to see if the clutch lever is still on the pivot ball. It prolly came off the quadrant under the dash.Said a pray and bam the trans is in thank God. The clutch cable is loose, it was tight when I removed it and I think I it's still hooked to pedal,I could try and adjust from firewall adjuster.Has anyone had this happen ?
Cable still on quadrant,used firewall adjuster to take out slack.Check to see if the clutch lever is still on the pivot ball. It prolly came off the quadrant under the dash.
I just installed a ford racing quadrant on mine and now it's super stiff, I may have to swap it out for a different one. I have no adjustment at all.
The f in trans fell off Jack twice now. Doing this by myself sucks more then taking those long tubes off. I'm tempted to go to hf and get a trans Jack in The morning.
First time I did clutch the car was low enough for me to bench press the t5 ,this time I had her way up their and my short arms couldn't reach. Harbor f had that style trans Jack for $109, but my cheap ass did it the hard way.A T5 I can lay on my belly and bench press up into the car, but I can't do it with anything bigger than that. I have one of those cheapy scissor style transmission jacks. They work great, I actually prefer them to the hydraulic ones, because they easier to fine adjust.

I got it into first while running in driveway,if I let it roll back it make a clicking grinding sound, if I try and let the clutch out its worse.the cable is at the end of adjustment on both ends,I'm hopping it's the fork/pivot stud.Any one got a pic of a proper adjusted fork/cable?Update! Something is flocked.I got a new cable ( adjustable) .I still can not shift into first with or without clutch depressed.2 threw 5 and rev. Not problem,like butter.The pic is the fork , first mark to the right is without cable on,sec is cable on and adjusted,and left is depressed to the floor. Wtf, couldn it be pivot and fork worn or need adjustment? Or I flocked up on rebuild of trans? I am so not looking forward to doing this again.?
