    Looseness in tranny

    I have the BP with 5 speed tranny, and it feels loose... when I let go of the clutch, it's doesn't grip hard, its got a loose in it... is there something I can tighten?

    Are you sure its tranny? Maybe your engine mounts are dying... its the same feeling... and there arent things you can just "tighten" in a tranny

      ok, probably engine mounts, makes sense (stupid me).... how much do those go for usually? is it easy to self install?

        depends how hard you shift

        if you have some mechanic skills you could do it... but if you dont have skills i wouldn`t recommend it

          sounds like your clutch. how many miles on the car? when was the last time the clutch was replaced? are you throwing a check engine light(CEL)?

              At that milage, it could be both. The front mount is real easy. The rear mount on the other hand is a little bit more of a pain. If you are gonna install a new clutch, I would just replace the mounts at the same time.
