My clutch needs to be adjusted and I have a stock cable and clutch. What would i need to buy so i can adjust it? Do i just need that clutch firewall adjuster? or do i need a new cable too with it?

If you have the stock quadrant, try pulling up on the clutch pedal. if it comes up and clicks, you just adjusted the cable adjustment.

If not, you would need a FWA or adjustable cable (I would get the former).

Good luck.

you would only need an adjustable cable or a FWA if you dont have the stock quadrant. Were that the case, I would get a FWA and use the stock cable, which is amongst the best cables out there.
