Clutch Stays Engaged On My 82'???

[Mustang78]

What leads me to think this is the cluch has to be pushed in a maximum of 2" to fully disengage so i can shift, thats nice and all but i'm thinkin the clutch doesnt fully release, which is causing it wear out...well it needs a new clutch now either way, and when i shift fairly hard from 1st to 2nd i hear what sounds like a dry bearing rattling for a second until i drop the clutch in 2nd..i know its the TOB making the noise, and thought it might have worn out too fast by staying on all the time and spinning as fast as the crank, which can't be good...right?? is there a way to adjust some slack in the stock cable?? remember this is an 82" with the manual 4spd SROD tranny, thanks and this looks like a great place to learn about my kick ass car, cant beat a 5.0!!(well ok, dont take that comment literally)

if you want to adjust the cable you need to get a aftermarket quad and adjuster.
