I had to start doing that my self on the t-18. That is where you push the
clutch in once and take it out of gear, then push in the clutch again and
put it into the next gear right? Mine used to grind in 2 nd and 3 rd, and
sometimes even 4th. BUt double clutching has gotten rid of that problem,
except on the those groggy mornings and I get a little ahead of myself and
dont quite have out of gear before letting up the clutch....

No this is not a double clutch, at least I don't belive so. Double
Clutch is when you push the clutch in, pull it out of gear, then
pull the clutch out, then put it back in, and put it in gear.

Ok thanks for the info, I will stop down in at Napa (they get too much of
money allready, should be on an allowance)

I didn't think they were alot further in, but makes sense.

Thanks

We have a 97 F 150 that my dad drove before his death it has been in the
shed for a few months. It only has 21,000 miles on it has been started
now and then. The lifters are knocking like it going to blow up, also the
defective Ford lugnuts. I am going to turn 16 this summer and was
planning to buy a 1994 F 150 or so but if Ford can't even design lugnuts
that stay on I don't want one of there vehicles in my possesion. My plans
are to buy a 1993-1994 Chevrolet K 1500 silverado. Does anyone know the
whole story behind the lugnuts?
