Clutch cable/transmision problems

Ok well i've been having some issues with my tranny and possibly my clutch (so i thought) it would pop out of second sometimes, be hard to put into gear, grind second and reverse occasionally,ect . I tried changing the fluid a couple weeks ago and that didn't help . So today i decided to fiddle with my firewall adjuster again, upon opening the hood i notice that the clutch cable is bent or kinked about 3 or 4 inches from the firewall. I decided to go get a new adjustable cable from ford. I called a buddy who could help me and has more experience with mustangs than i do. So on my way to his shop it just gets harder and harder to put into gear/shift and so on untill it finally broke the cable So i limp it to his shop with no clutch. We replace the cable and now it shifts smooth is very easy to put into gear , basically it seemed to solve all the problems i've been having with it. Only thing is now the clutch engages/disengages with the pedal almost all the way out. We tried adjusting the firewall adjuster with no avail. I also have a metal/adjustable quadrant with 3 places to put the cable at, when i put the new one in i put it on the one farthest from the firewall/closest to the dash, simply because thats how the old one was . So we where thinking that maybe we need to put it on the middle one to loosen it up some and then maybe we could adjust it , but we ran out of time so we'll have to wait till sunday to get back to it.

any suggestions for me?

sorry for the long post.:SNSign:

Well see thats the bad thing about buying a used car......

I have no clue how old or what brand the clutch is. After all this christmas stuff is over i'll be able to afford a tranny rebuild and a new clutch and hopefully an alluminum ds.
