The car kinda jerks around when I take off during normal slow operation(I think this may be that I'm not used to such a heavy clutch pedal and idk if the clutch is original or aftermarket)
How long does the clutch cable usually last? I've heard of them snapping on people and I'm wondering if I should buy a spare.
What is the widest tire I can put on the stock wheels? It has 255 45's at the moment and ill be in need of a set pretty soon.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah sounds pretty normal. Only thing I could think of for you to try to fix the noise you describe would be Bob's shifter gaskets.
Most people get away with running a 315 tire on the rear pretty easily. But thats on a 10.5 wheel. I agree with 275 on the stock wheels.
