Default Clutch Problems

I just changed the clutch and pressure plate on my 94, and now I have 6 reverse gears and one forward. Is it possible that I installed the clutch backwards?

You need to rotate the tires and put the fronts on the back. Issue solved

Got a similar problem.. My EM headers burned through my front bumper and are really killing my 1/4 times!!??

Note: Jim... let me know if you hit the dyno soon. When I actually get these headers I've got to get numbers.

Try switching your battery cables. This will allow the engine to rotate the opposite way. In turn, allowing the headers to function as a ram air intake.

FYI: Jim has already hit the dyno.
