yikes!

Just got the 240 out for the first time tonight. I got the car with a bad engine and finally got it on the road. It ran pretty good but had a vibration like the tires needed balanced. So, i'm on the cell phone with my brother in law who helped me, asking him if he noticed anything like that before, and as i'm doing that i'm power shifting the thing up into 3rd when....boom, clack..bam..bam..

Turns out he forgot to tighten the driveshaft bolts.....

Nascar pitstop repair and no big issues... except I can't get the clutch pedal to come back up fast enough to keep the clutch from slipping between gears.

Just thought you guys might get a good laugh out of that.

Have you tried bleeding your clutch lines? You could have air in there, which can make it spongy and weak. Get a couple of bottles of brake fluid and bleed your system. Don't reuse the bled fluid; it has air in it. Hopefully that will help.
