I should try it. Since my Clutch Pedal has alot of free play so I sometime have to pull it all the way up by my toes.

My on/off switch conection actually popped off sometime before. I didn't figure it out till I was taking my indiglo gauges off and saw. So try unbolting your dash and take a look there. You never know. Hope that helps

90s13, adjust your freeplay, it will also help your shifting. It should be tight. I bought mine Jan 15. I thought I was going to have to put in a new transmission, adjusted my freeplay and it was fine after that. Put in some redline MT and it'll be like new, as long as there aren't any serious problems. Just turn the nuts on the pin until it's tight, but remember where it was so you can put it back if its worse. I don't know if that will affect your CC but it will probably make your shifting less notchy. PEACE. Tek.

I also found that my clutch would stay pushed in just a hair and it wouldn't engage. pulled the clutch back out with my foot and works. Only had to do it once though...was really weird.

Dunno if you can do that. As far as I know, you will need a new clutch for a stiffer engage. Adjusting it I think is only for maximizing the shifting ability of the clutch you have. There is a turtorial on it in the FAQ section of 240sx club. http://www.240sx.org/faq/index.html The left side has the topics listed alphabetically. I also couldn't figure out the CC. I don't have a manual so that probably didn't help. I figured out that you have to hit a combination of two buttons. Set, then Accel or something, can't remember now. I only used it once. Double tap it, or try various combinations. Make sure you let off the gas enough for the computer to catch back up to speed. You may be doing it right, and not giving the computer time to work. Since I don't have the manual I can't tell you the specifics about it. All I know is that I have to hit the CC On button, then a combination of two buttons on the steering wheel. I've only tried it in 5th, that may or may not have a bearing. PEACE. Tek.

Ok Now My S14 is not coming on! The light on the botton, on the dash light up but does nothing! And the Cluster light does not come on!

Is there a fuse or anything?

Thanks
