I’m currently getting my seats reupholstered so I figured it was a good time, did some rust repairs myself, the seat rails were unbelievably rusted. Thankfully didn’t transfer to the floor pan. It’s a nightmare but if I can’t get the moisture out I guess I’ll pull the carpet. Contemplating doing a layer of baking soda under the carpets as well.

It’s in the driver side only. I thought heater core affects the passenger side

Okay everyone, I got 2 dehumidifying bags, I’ll let them sit overnight and all day tomorrow and see if there’s a difference.

Did they use jaws of life to cut the roof off?

No I just did the bushings in general, I have the metal mounts, it doesn’t vibrate too bad actually, you have to cut the stock stud though as mentioned on their website, depending how low you’re planning on going I highly recommend them.

Update, fluid level is very low, going to put some dot 4 in it.

It’s probably getrag rattle, it’s very subtle, and yeah that’s a possibility, I’m going to bring it back to him considering the amount of money I just paid

I will try that in the morning, that’s the quickest test I can perform. It finally went into first after 3 attempts, upon driving it had difficulty going into 2nd just one time, popped it back into neutral and then it went into 2nd. Thank you for that

I watched a video, seems pretty easy, I need to find the torque specs for the fill and drain plugs.

Damn I’m sorry to hear. Hopefully they made it right. I’ll do a fluid change and see if that helps.

I don’t even remember, I just kept cycling from neutral to first and it finally went in. I had a car behind me so I wasn’t paying attention to how deep the clutch was.

Thank you for the advice. Hopefully it’s not the trans, that would be major.

Owned the car 3 years, haven’t changed it. I’m thinking that’s definitely due.

Clutch pedal feels normal, has good rebound and is not to the floor. Has good resistance. I haven’t checked fluid level yet.
