Ok back in November I had to replace my clutch, slave cyclinder and fly wheel, ever since I got it back the tranny feels likes is moving as I shift,
Secondly I put new tires on my truck an s-10 came stock with 205/75-/15's on it. When I bought the truck it had 215/75/15. Well I put 235/75/15's on it. The problem is that I'll be driving 60 mph and get pulled over and they say Im doing like 67 mph.
Also when I shift gears it feels like it grinds when I go to shift into 2nd and 3rd but it only dose it if Im doggin on it. When I drive normaly and dont ragg on it its smooth shifting.
Next When I bought the truck the ac/heater only blows through the top and bottom vents. The a/c dosent blow very cold, but the heater will burn you out of the truck. I was told its a vacume hose in the dash behind the glove box. Is that very hard to fix? Should I get the ac recharged

Well for the 215/75/15 and the current tires 235/75/15's on it, You are saying youre speedo is off by 7mph not sure why thats happening, My friend has the same truck with 17inch 245/40/17's not too much change in the speedo area at all. And also does youre tranny make any whine hummmm sounds, or jerky while in those gears? If so you could have some chipped or broken in syncho's gears means youre tranny may need rebuilding. And for ac/heater only blows through the top and bottom vents, Whats happening is youre a/c and heater unit is controled through a vacuum hose system. Either the hose is broken or missing, Will cause that problem for you, Its a bit of a pain, Dash has to come a part. For the A/C unit isnt pushing out cold air, I would try the cheap fix of getting the hose leak fixed, Then if that doesnt correct the problem, U will need the A/C unit recharged.

Good Luck.
