S13 is Not a straight fit. Its longer so you would have to have a shortened prop made and cut another hole in the trans tunnel as the stick sits further back.
Are you sure its not the clutch M/S or slave cyn or even the clutch ? Sometimes a oil change may help

its mainly just 2nd .just had clutch in april.ill give it oil change at weekend see if that cures it.its really sloppy anyway.do you think its worthwhile going down s13 route.can do tunnel work and make prop myself.(might have to have it balanced though.thanks.
