I just got my new tranny installed last night and hooked up the clutch cable. First time I went to push on the clutch pedal with my hand to test it out, it popped and hit the floor. My guess is it's probably just the stock quadrant being a piece of crap and will probably have to be replaced with an aftermarket piece.

My question is, if it's not the quadrant, is there anything else it might be?

I just did a T-5 swap my self and I had the same problem. I tried a BBK quadrant with a stock cable and the clutch wouldn't release all the way so I bought a steeda double hook quadrant, a fire wall adjuster, and an adjustable cable and all problems solved. Good luck.

Sounds like the quadrant. At least that is what mine did when it went out. Put a Fiore quadrant and FWA in and all is good.

After doing some more messing with it, I'm convinced the quadrant is just shot, so I went a head and bought a Steeda double-hook quadrant and the Steeda FWA.
