Tranny or clutch problems?
I was just barely introduced to the Rx-7 last week, and liked it so much I went and got a second gen. The clutch was supposedly replaced last year, but the transmission is giving me feed back inbetween shifts. Normally I would just adjust the clutch, But these are hydralic, Can they be adjusted? I would appreciate any info or opinion on the problem.

You can adjust them with the clutch pedal, check out http://www.fc3s.org and goto the How-To Manuals section, and download the clutch section of the manual and it'll explain how to adjust/check it.

Yes, Feedback means grinding. It only just barely rolls of the tip of the 2, 3, 4 I tried double clutching her today, and that seemed to work, So should I adjust it? or look for a tranny? Thanx for the help
I dont see how adjusting the clutch will help the grinding since it doesnt do it in all gears. Adjusting the clutch might help with the grinding only if the clutch in engaging too low. You could try synthetic gear oil, my old tranny use to grind into 2nd gear sometimes and after the new syn gear oil it never grinded again. It may be an Rx-7 but it still uses a "normal" transmission.

Synthetic gear oil is the closest thing to pure magic in your tranny.

Thanx for all the info guys, Theres also a lot of heat building up through the shifter. Would synthetic help reduce heat build up? If so where can I get some, and how much does it run?
