Oh, I wanted to clarify that when I say console under the cup holders, I =
mean the whole console all the way to the floor.  In the winter time =
it's like a heater if you rest your leg up against it.  In the summer =
it's the same way. =20

Sorry I didn't get this right in my first message.

Subject:	Clutch - Shifting, Jeez jam it in there!

I have seen a few comments here and there about clutch sounds, clutch =
travel, etc.  I keep hoping that when I see a post with "clutch " in the =
subject someone will talk about experiencing what I found in my '97 GLX =
with 10k miles on it.

This may not be related, but I'd be interested to see if anyone else =
noticed that the console under the cup holders gets really hot.  It =
would seem to me that heating up your drinks would be something =
designers would take into consideration *if* this is normal.  It seems =
to cool down a bit with the A/C on. =20

Back to the main subject. =20

Shifting seems normal, on short trips. When it starts turning into a =
long trip, down shifting gets difficult.  I have the clutch to the =
floor, and when going down to 3rd or 2nd gear you feel the shifter bind =
up before it gets into gear like it doesn't want to go.  If you push =
hard, it goes in.  Shifting up has never been a problem.  This has been =
happening for a few months now.

I'm going on a road trip this weekend, and I'm a little concerned. =20
