hey everyone, i use the word crunch because i have no better way of explaining how the clutch sounds when its pushed in. well that and squeaky too. it started a while ago and has been getting progressivly worse. i thought it might be a cable but i really have no idea, all i know is im starting to get some wierd looks while at lights or while im driving stop and go :eek: through busy parking lots.. it can be pretty loud at times lol. i just hope i dont need a new clutch (doesnt slip when driving REGULAR). anyone have any ideas? <P><BR>frank
