Ok before anyone goes off, i'm not asking how to adjust the clutch as for i've read the links that were on here a week ago. What is happining is at first when i would start the car with it in gear, it would lurtch forward a bit? So tonight we adjust the clutch at the fire wall and it dosent lurch forward on start up. but if you have the clutch pushed in and rev it to like 4k it will lurch forward? So now the pedal is at the top. i have a firewall adj. but the cable isnt? So do i need a adjustable cable now also? Or is the clutch fried? I have a centerforce dual friction clutch, and it grabs great! Great enough to run 26x10 slicks! peace

just get the cable, on it there is a pretty wide span for you to adjust it (unlike the firewall adjuster) and its super easy to put the cable in. 10 min max

Yeah, you just need a little more adjustment.

I just changed the cable and quadrant last night and the only thing I would of done first is pull out the seat right away. It is a lot easier
