Okay, so I did a t-5 swap on my car and put a firewall adjuster, and double hook quad with a new OEM cable. The pedal is very firm, (I like it that way) but since it could be a symptom I'm just putting it out there. Here's my problem, I have the cable in the hook closest to the fw and the fw adj is all the way in and my fork has to be pushed forward almost 2" for the cable to reach. It's like it's too short or something. Also the pedal sits about 1" above the brake pedal when it's up. It seems to drive okay when driving normally, but since I'm not sure whats going on and the fork isn't releasing all the way I haven't driven it much, just moved it here and there since the swap because I don't want to burn up my brand new clutch if it's slipping.

Go...

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

That definitely doesn't sound normal. How did you route your cable? What brand cable?
