well I bought all the parts for the T-5 swap and I got a few questions, right now it has a aluminum FMS quadrant, and a FMS clutch....


My friends car the it picks up when the clutch pedal is about equivalent to the brake pedal if not higher......



how can I make that happen on my car? and keep it that way? what kit to buy? The FMS clutch is way to stiff to have to bring the clutch pedal halfway to the ground or to the ground for it to pick up....


can anybody give me tips on when im installin this for what to do to get it to pick up way up high?



if I got to buy a whole new set up No Problem, because this is going to be a daily driver

You'll need to buy a billet firewall adjuster to adjust your clutch engagement point. What it does is replace the rubber gromet on the firewall where the clutch goes through with a 2 piece, threaded adjuster. To make the clutch engage higher, you'll need to screw it outward, thus putting more tension on the clutch cable.
