adjusted my clutch and....
Had a local mechanic adjust my clutch to try to stop this damn issue I’m having with the drive shaft not stopping fully when I depress the clutch, but it didn’t help. So where should I start next?
What’s going on is I have noticed when I shift the car I sometimes feel a lurch and a little thump from the rear. It’s because when I depress the clutch it’s not putting enough pressure on the plate ( sorry im not a mechanic ). Anyway what should I do next? Also the clutch adjustment is really low, like almost off the floor but I kinda like it. OK to keep it that way??

nope should be alot higher i would bleed the line.. if its not air in the line then its your CMC or slave. and if its not thos.... its your pressure plate.. i would start with the easy and rule thos out

drive shaft wont fully stop spinning when i push the clutch all the way in, so when i try to put the car in gear there is a thump and sometimes a slight lurch. Going to have the clutch fluid replaced tomorrow, it looks black and i bet itsnever been done.

I'm not sure about the lurch, but as far as I know, at a stop, when you try to put the car in 1st gear, there is a THUMP.

The Tranny and Diff fluids i did a few months back. Im 99% certain i used the right fluids. In fact i know the raer diff is right because i got that from Honda. The tranny i got at the auto parts store but i made certain it was the right weight and spec.
Hopefully changing out the clutch fluid helps. if not, ill replace the clutch and clutch hydrolics in one shot, once i have the money that is :-/

you could need to re-grease the shifter. i have tracked the thump that you are hearing to the shifter. at least in my car. how many miles are on the car. could be air like the above poster said or time to replace parts.
