    Hi All,
    Is the clutch self-adjusting on my 08 Shelby GT?
    Is the ignition distributorless?
    The ignition is electronic, right?
    Ignition timing doesn't have to be checked on cars w/ electronic ignition, right?
    The valves are hydraulic? If they are hydraulic valves they don't need adjustment, right?
    My ultimate goal is to do a complete tune up myself.
    Just trying to learn a thing or two.
    Thanks,
    John

    Sorry no one responded sooner John!
    The clutch is self adjusting. The ignition is electronic, distributorless and timing is not adjustable. The valves are hydraulic and do not need adjustment. The only thing to do on a tune up is replace the spark plugs and change the air and fuel filter if needed. I recommend replacing the spark plugs at 60K miles.
