-4 days later I came to replace the clutch cable (this was cable #4) -$53, free labor
Since Swedish Solution does not perform the conversion, I called 2 dealers to see if they've done it. They both said they didn't know anything about the conversion. After explang to them I've been through 5 cables, they said "oh, the shop that did your clutch job didn't do it right"... "We've see 50 cars a day and never had an issue with clutch cables failures". Well, I've been through 3 cables prior to the clutch job in Jan.
After waying what the car is worth, what I owe on it, and what life is left.. I've decided to get a spare cable and keep topping off the tranny fluid. After Swedish Solution had topped it off for me today for free comined with new cable #5, its been shifting smoother than I can remember.. for how long, who knows...
