I can kind of relate to that. I had a new clutch installed recently as well. I gave my car to the local guy in town near where my parents used to live to refinish my flywheel and install the clutch. Big mistake. Not only did he take two months fixing OTHER cars first, but my manual trans has incredible difficulty shifting. It tends to get stuck in reverse and is almost impossible to shift into 5th. The clutch is a brand new Valeo kit which I got from John Hervey. I have every confidence that the parts are just fine. I usually buy from him or PJGrady's site. But I think the mechanic may have misaligned my gear tubes or something, or screwed up my neutral gate. That's what one of my car buff friends told me. My dad thinks it's synchros but he's a pessimist. :P Yeah, and maybe a meteor will fall on the car too. geez! I currently have my D at a classic car specialist near Detroit. He's the man. He did a serious wiring restoration on her once before and I'm sure he will figure out what the heck's wrong with my trans. It's about the only part of my car I have not fixed. Once I get this thing all fixed up I'll try and borrow a digital camera and post some pics for you all. The stainless steel, the ripped leather seats, ahh the constrast. She's a great car to go get ice cream in. Or speed in the rain and listen to Megadeth.
