Re: help me out here
OK..what can I do to check and diagnose exactly what is wrong? I mean can I
just get under the thing and look around? Should I just follow the clutch
cable and pull on it for tension? Not totally inept here, but not a mechanic
either and have NO knowledge of trannies or clutches, but I would like to
get the car back and do something with it. It's only about a block away too,
so checking on it is a cinch.
thanx again to all who have responded so far..it sounds better than I
suspected at this point.
