Well i noticed when i bought my car right off the bat that the clutch seemed a little out of whack. It doesnt seem to want to grab until the clutch pedal is almost all the way out. Ive tryed adjusting it using the quadrant and pulling it all the way out till i hear the click noise but i havent had any results. Also It seems like i have to rev it up to about 1300 rpms to get it goin out of first gear or it makes a vibration noise. The car doesnt shake so i dont think its chattering but it makes a sort of vibration or chatter noise almost like its a loose heat shield or something....

The pedal is fairly stiff as well, at first I thought the car had an aftermarket clutch but I dont have any idea how i woudl be able to prove it unless i took it out.

Does anyone know if maybe I just need to adjust my clutch cable or something? IS there any way of telling if it is infact an aftermarket clutch?

Having 86K miles on your car should tell the tail.If your clutch
is showing signs of wear just replace it when you can.From what
I see replacing your clutch around 70-80K miles is normal.When my
clutch starts showing signs of wear I really look forward to replacing
it with a Centerforce DF clutch.

86k is a lot of miles on a clutch for a car that is driven like a Mustang...
