So I just spent a long week changing out the clutch in my '99.5; I'm not going to whine about what went wrong but now that it's in there I fired it up, went to back off the ramps and got some horrible gear clash going into reverse. The other gears seem fine.
IIRC this is an up-and-down adjustment at the shift tower? I have the old style tower.
I've bled the clutch because it got snagged on something and it seems fine. With the new pressure plate the clutch feels lighter but it's just like the one I have in the other car anyway. I just did that a few years ago and I remember feeling that the pedal was a lot lighter.
But anyway, now what?
