    Default When shifting gears...

    I have an eg with LS swap.

    The shift is very short, but the clutch is VERY LONG, meaning where the gears engage, it engages at the ALMOST at the end of the clutch.

    I mean, you will barely EVER stall out even with newbie driving it.

    I was teaching my gf how to drive stick with the car, and she never stalled out. That's how easy it is to drive. ANYHOW.

    Does anyone know what the problem is? will it be the shift linkage? or the clutch?

    Any help?

    you can adjust the clutch pedal to where it engages the clutch more towards the floor. click Not your car but the same concept.

    shit... once your done taking off your clutch will be shot..
    So either way.. get a new clutch. never go back to OEM. upgrade. when something stock goes out, replace it will something 2x better if not more! trust me on that shit... never go OEM.

    If you get a new clutch its still a good idea to adjust the pedal to let out when you want it to, especially if you get one with more clamp load.
