For example: I'm doing 3700rpm, i press the clutch, and my revs stay up there until the other gear is engaged. And it does this through out the all the gears. Another thing, when idling at a stop i would be at 1200rpm usually. Now it'll sit at 2000rpm! WTF???

I read the My car Stutters, hesitates, has a bad Idle,wont boost, or is just acting funny! Could it possibly be becauseof the FF? I highly doubt it. Any suggestions?

When I shift my rpms usually stay in that same range and fall very slowly. 1200 is WAY too high of idle for warm.

The throttle cable does expand and contract with heat. So what you do is run the car, make sure it's completely warm, then do the throttle adjustment. The cable will be loose so it'll work the best and get you the best accuracy and not have problems with that then. That is if that's the problem.
