Being new to these cars i'm not sure where to adjust the clutch.... I know they use a cable, but do you adjust your pedal freeplay in the interior or at the trans?

Right now I have a car that has too much engagement, needs a little more freeplay.

You buy a fire wall adjuster and an adjustable quadrant. The stock clutches are not adjustable.

You can actually manually adjust the stock quadrant/pawl to get more slack but it is not a nice proposition. As Eric said, grab a metal quad and FWA and go to town.

Good luck.

You're not supposed to do it. You disengage the pawl and quadrant teeth from eachother and allow manually adjust the clutch.
