Ok so this is a three fold post, first off I am having problems with my clutch, its seems loose. The clutch has some give to it, if I apply the brakes the clutch pedal will rattle back and forh it is so loose. I have heard it could be the plastic quadrant piece connecting to the cable and the steeda metal quadrant could fix the issue, has any one else heard this or had a similar problem?

second, what are people opinion on underdrive pulleys, theres a few options I am looking at either steeda or SLP any thoughts?

third, 4.10 gears, any one have thoughts on brand for these, I am looking obviously for strength and reliability but dont wat the wine either. Thanks!

as far as pulleys go, ive heard steeda are among the best for some reason, expensive though.

gears, definetely go with FRPP. Some people get Motive gears, and run into problems such as gear whine, though not all.

get the gears installed by a knowledgeable professional. Smooth installation is the key to smooth, non-whiney gears.

I assume you are talking about a Mustang?

No pullies

Fiore firewall adjuster and quad

FRPP gears

I would maybe recommend a new cable also but since you do not mention year, make, model, mileage, etc of your car I am not gonna guess...

Yes it is a 2003 Mustang GT Convertable, 5 speed manual, with 40,000 miles.
I heard that the firewall adjuster is not necessary and a waste of money, but i have only read one review does anyone use it?

so pullies have been known to kill mustangs?

Pullies are very debatable. Some people like them others do not recommend them. I do not recommend them. Do a search for more info or just wait for the pulley fanboys to pile into the thread...
