might need a new tranny :(

You can adjust the clutch-pedal engagement point by lying on your back, twisting your body into a pretzel, and sticking your head under the pedals. The clutch pedal mechanism hooks to a rod that screws in and out of a yolk--the interior side of the clutch master cylinder. Loosten the locknut and adjust the rod slowly, twisting it out (increasing the length) will bring up the friction point. More in the vfaq about this here.

You may want to check for leaks in your clutch slave cylinder, which is attatched to the tranny. I had a similar problem that was alleviated by adjusting the rod and then replacing the slave cylinder. See if you can get smoother disengagement/engagement by pumping the clutch pedal. If so, it's a sure sign that one of these cylinders are wearing out.

sooo I pumped my clutch and slipped really well into reverser (the worst to shift into) so that means one of the cylinders is going bad? or could it still be the pedal.
I did bring it to a shop to have them "look" at it, the guy said it was my clutch, and he was very adminate about that, he didn't speak english really well, but it was a "mom an pops" type shop in northtown off 47 ::shrugs::
how easy is it for me to replace the master/slave cylinders? or bad idea?
thanks for the input
