ever since i did my 5 speed swap, the car does not like to start. it just cranks and cranks, and then sometimes starts but runs like crap. I tried grounding the trans, and that worked for like a week then it went back to the same problem. anyone else have this problem??

 

Lots of people have encountered this. You need to ground the hell out of your starter.

Or........

Take it all apart and ruff up the mating surfaces of the engine/tranny.
