Also i am having trouble changing from first gear to second gear Is there an adjustment for the clutch. Where do I check transmission fluid. And where do I put the fluid in. The clutch will sometimes feel soft like there is nothing to press the pedal back, after I mash it in. Also if you could give me step by step instructions on how to change the heater core. Thank you for all the help you have to offer for free.

The clutch is hydraulic and non-adjustable. Make sure the fluid is full in the clutch master cylinder. As far as checking the transmission, the fill and check plug is on the side of the transmission. When removed, the fluid should be level with the bottom of the threaded port that you remove the plug from.

As far as the heater core, that is a very involved process. For me to try and explain it would be very difficult and allow too much room for error via the internet. You should purchase a shop manual for your vehicle that has step by step instructions and pictures to guide you.
