Warmer and Fuzzier :-) Yea, Im coming back on the interstate in Albany heavy on the throttle and it sounds like Im in third gear, but the shifter is in forth! Uh oh... bit O slippin goin on! I noticed on the way up the thruway that the cruise would suddenly 'correct' enough to be noticeable, and since right now its only signal is off the points that's what it would do if the clutch starts to slip. Im going to change back to the magnetic pickup when the new tranny goes in... more precise speed control. I think that it may be an Oil seal problem as this car has mostly highway miles on it and I don't think the clutch is worn out. There seems to be adequate slack in the cable too. We shall soon see...
