Re: i need help right now!
How many miles are on this car? Did your dad ever change the clutch before?

Re: i need help right now!
That's pretty low mileage for a clutch to go - as much fun (note sarcasm) it is pulling a tranny on a Fiero I'd avoid it as long as possible. The thought that it has always had a little trouble could be the cables are out of adjustment, I'd really check that first. Pull both ashtrays and remove the screws under them (4) then remove the shift knob. Lift off the shifter trim piece. You'll find a small hole on the right hand lever connected to the shift cable, with another matching hole in the plate under it... if you line the 2 up and hold them in place by sliding a drill bit through, you can then loosen the cable nuts where they connect to the tranny and slide the studs downward untill there is no slack in the cable. It doesn't take long, and hey it's free - worth a try.
Once you said it's been doing it for years, I ruled out the master idea... if it's been acting up this long the seals would have blown all the way.
