Bless your heart. See if I can figger a Redneck Swampbilly method. How are you tryin' to "feel" the adjustment of the clutch pedal? Are you using your hand or using your foot? Have you put the car in gear? Rocked the car back and forth to see if the adjustment is to loose or about just right? Will the car jalopy down the road? Does it sit there in gear and not move? Maybe you are being sensitive. I got more ideas -- "Dodgeball in Burkas" -- Greg Gutfeld |
