When I replaced my clutch I installed a FRPP cable adjuster which came with the new cable and the metal quadrant. The one thing I don't seem to understand is when you install it. The return spring which brings the pedal all the way back up to the top has nothing to attach to on the metal quadrant while on the plastic one it sat on the side of it.

How do I go about getting the metal quadrant installed and having the pedal all the way back up like it's stock again?

the Steeda Double Hook Quadrant and Steeda Firewall Cable adjuster is a good setup. You can use those with your Stock Clutch cable.

The Steeda Quadrant is better than the stock quadrant cause it CAN take the abuse from fast shifting...as the Stock PLASTIC quadrant could actually bend over time and break...

The Steeda Firewall Cable adjust gives you the abilty to adjust where u want the clutch pedal to Engage/disengage the clutch....right now I have mine set so that it grabs more up top. So I dont have to push the clutch pedal down alot for it the engage/disengage the clutch.

The clutch pedal feel is similar to stock feeling, the only difference I notice is that there is no spring back action on the pedal. But you can get used to that.
Visit www.mustangtuning.com they sell those products.

I don't get how it is suppose to feel like stock? I've read a lot of people saying that but without the return spring in there it feels really sloppy and loose like there is littlerally no pushback at all. It's adjusted to where it's suppose to be at but it still doesn't feel like it should.
