Default I need a good Fbody mechanic in NYC
Hey guys I currently live in Queens NY. I have some issues with the ride and don't really have a mechanic I trust around here. Do you guys in NY have any recommendations or places to bring my Fbody to. THanks in advance.

Clutch or master cylinder. Cars rpms go really high and its giving me a hard time to get into first gear. Check out the video.



Help would be appreciated.

About $400 to install the clutch. I have a great mechanic, but he is ~60 miles away. It's worth the drive and he can do it while you wait.

Vette Dr's is probably closest to you right in LI. If you don't mind driving to NJ, contact Matt at Tune Time.
