So I get the car running good today and everything is fine. Pulls hard thru each gear and downshifts are a dream... Then BAM i do a 4-2 downshift and go to put it in 3rd and the clutch is just chillin! Like not on the floor but know pressure to it. So I get it towed home and I jack the car up and attemp to see what has happend, (hoping something came loose) and make sure nothing broke or blew up etc.. There is now minimal pressure in the clutch.. but barely with some play... Anyways I take off that shield and look at the clutch fork and its just loose. Like it has a little slack in it. So maybe I just stretched the clutch cable?? I'm not too sure, I dont know much about it. But here is a crappy video of what it does. Any ideas? Should I jusy get a New adjustable clutch quadrant kit? Sorry if the typing is crappy, I had a few beers after this.

If you're still running the stock quadrant, try pulling up on the pedal and see if it adjusts the slack out of the cable. That, and make sure all of the teeth are still on the quadrant and pawl, since they're made of plastic. As long as those check out alright, you're probably looking at a stretched or broken cable.
