Help! clutch and trans question....

[03CobraCCC]

I think I burned up my clutch an/or dmg'ed T/O lever learning to powershift the 03. It almost bogs on a launch and gets closer to stalling then it ever did.......

Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows if either or both of these items are covered under the 12 mo./12K mi. full bumber to bumber non-limited warranty that comes with the car upon purchase because these are wear and tear items.

If not, can anyone reccomend some of the better clutches or T/O levers out there, because i have read of these weak stock T/O's and clutches....and I'm lookin at some of the SPEC clutches either a II or III. thanks...any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Did you try adjusting it?

how do you adjust it? can you do it yourself or should you get a dealership to do it?

It's in your owners manual. Lifting the clutch pedal does it.

If you have no mods, I have heard that they will warrant wear items up to 12000 miles. This also depends upon the attitude of your dealership. People on this board have received new clutches under warranty. Take it in and give it a try. Tell them that you pulled up on the clutch pedal just like it said in the owner's manual, but the clutch apparently did not adjust properly.

Keep the gas pedal to the floor as you shift. You should be pushing the clutch in quickly and out quickly at the same time you quickly but not forcefully shift the transmission. The timing takes practice. If you miss the gear and it grinds, push the clutch back in quickly to help protect your trans. You can practice with the engine off.
