    He only got it a few days ago...

    Congrats on the car, it looks great!

    Not sure what to tell you if it's not the master cylinder... But I would check into it... Oh, That lightened flywheel might be a pain if it is too light... RPMs will drop too much in between shifts and you lose some boost that way. Hopefully it's not that light though... Hopefully you can fix it for a reasonable price... GADSM.org Dejontools.com and thedsmgraveyard.com are going to all be your friend! trust me. lol and most of all VFAQ.com will answer pretty much any question you can have about a dsm!!!

    Yeah my first one was fwd... I had 245k on the odometer before my brother totalled it and it still ran strong... This one is awd and some other things and it's been a constant work in progress... But honestly, once you fix a problem it makes ya feel better about your car... plan on turning a lot of wrenches... and it's a dsm, so have a bag of zipties ready too!
