placed into 1st gear. It will accelerate in when placed in 1st gear but

Clutch Problems by

yet AGAIN. The last ones I put on were some fairly costly ones from

but they too were...

Driver's side door handle no longer "springy" on my '93 by
Zilla
A while back I heard something "click" while I was opening
the door. Now the handle is no longer "springy". The door
closes ok, but I have to slam it more than the other doors
to close it. Is this easily fixed?
