Default 2 Questions
1. How many miles is the original alternator good for?

2. 2nd gear is hard to shift into, does this mean i need a new clutch? None of the other gears are hard, just 2nd.

Ok, thanks, good to know about the alternator.

As for 2nd Gear, it is worse when it's cold, but even when it's warmed up it's still harder than the other gears.
