[Shotimes] Hey all - Neno here with a car problem.

[Neno Albert]

Hello all!

So just an update, my email has now changed. No longer
am I using my "DemonNeno@aol.com" address. it is now
neno@sbcglobal.net

Now down to the problem I'm experiencing. While
driving at 30mph and trying to downshift into 1st, the
car shakes EXTREMELY bad! It feels like the damn thing
will either pretzel the body or completely yank the
motor mounts right off the engine/subframe! I
obviously haven't stayed off the clutch long enough to
find out what happens to it. :) I also get this in
reverse. I have to slip the clutch a lot to prevent
the shaking. It's only when the car revs past 1,500 or
so. (I broke my foot so i sometimes get out of hand on
the reverse launches) It does not shake when
downshifting into any other gear. I've even pushed my
luck and tried downshifting into 2nd, bringing the
RPMs all the way out to 4,500. The shaking gets worse
the higher the RPMs. Here's what I've crossed off the
list so far:

- Motor/Trans mounts are still working right. I've
torqued the engine in 1st and reverse and the results
were very minimal engine "rocking". 

That's it! :) I did just get the clutch replaced, but
wasn't aware of the problem before. Other odd problems
I've noticed include:

- clutch pedal doesn't fully come up?! It'll come up
roughly 98% and then after I let off the gas, it'll
pop up and slap the bottom of my shoe.. hmm? 

- I also have a clutch pedal vibration problem that
happened to be there before the clutch replacement. If
i hold the pedal down, ONLY during acceleration, i get
a buzing noise that resembles a spring hanging on the
pedal or something that gets more obvious with higher
RPMs.

Shifting is not difficult, but does get sloppy at
times. I'm 99% sure that's a fluid problem as the
mechanic decided it'd be a nice thing to forget the
MTL redline in my trunk and dumped in some cheapo
crap. Oh well, i guess that crappy stuff makes a good
"cleaning" solution before draining it out and dumping
in the redline.

Any clues regarding this? I don't believe the symptoms
fall under the vibrating pedal or buzzing pedal
either. Similar, but not exact. I was told the
flywheel wasn't cut, but would this cause it? New
flywheel bolts were used (if it was replaced) because
the only left over stuff was my fluid that was
untouched. Again, it does not shake the car (as well
as myself) to death in any gear other then 1st and
reverse.. 

please do LMK if you have any type of feedback!! If
you post to the list, make sure you email me privately
as well just in case i miss a post or something. And
yes, my right foot is broken. :(

TIA again!
