Sarone

Well, I fired her up after a cold Nebraska winter and the clutch really feels off:


-It wouldn't engage any gear at first (I did not try to force)


-It then engaged real low to the floor, almost like the pedal isn't being recognized during the first 50% of pressing it down,,


-Smelled a little funny after a trip around the block.


Any easy suggestions or experiences with this?


It's going in for lowering and drilled rotors soon so I may just have it flatted to the shop.

How does the clutch fluid level look?

I will check tonight. Would I have a noticeable leak on the floor? I didn't notice anything but a few oil drops.

My thought too...

Cars sitting for long times become unhappy and temperamental. The fact that you were able to put it in gears and drive around the neighborhood is a good sign.

I noticed that your car is from Alabama? If I were from the warm south and had to spend winter in Nebraska, I'd be a little stiff in the morning too.
