ok, first night now with the 5.0. first things first... man it's good to be back in a 5.0, I was getting looks and compliments all night.
So here's the deal. When on level ground, car running, clutch in, If i start to go into first, I have to really push it into gear, and before it goes into gear, the car will start to creep forward, and I'm realizing that i have to push it into each gear. the guy who sold me the car claims it has an aftermarket clutch, but I have no way to confirm this. The peddle is very stiff. As far as i can tell, it has the original quadrant and cable. My guess is I just need to replace the cable ( from it being stretched) and toss in a new quadrant while I'm at it, but thought i'd ask here first.
here is a pic of my firewall adjuster... thing
