When i really get on it and rev my car up to like 6500rpm and then try to shift(mainly from 2nd to third) its really hard to get in and sometimes wont go into gear at all until the rpms drop a bit. Does my clutch need adjusted or is there a bigger problem.
 
If that's your only issue with shifting then I would just adjust your pedal:

I had the same issue and just needed to back the pedal out more because it wasn't disengaging at high rpm. Be carefull not to back it out too much though.. its more sensitive than you may think. Just do 1 turn, then test drive and repeat.. :dsm:
 
I dont understand what exactly im supposed to adjust.....do i adjust the cruise control switch or the master cylinder rod?
