So Im not to sure what this might be but at the track im getting issues with my clutch being a bitch to shift outta any gear. I'll do a light burnout in 1st just to get the gravel off( tires were already heated from earlier runs) but then when im staging to launch at 3800rpms and my clutch is fully depresed it starts to slowly creep forward and i have to sit on the brakes, and once im off it becomes like a workout trying to shift into everygear. Its a centforce DFX 8 bolt steel flywheel and a tr3650.

Like I dunno it its cause my tires are sticking(nitto DR) or my clutch is just to close and grabbing

ugh as far as i know i think its another stock clutch cable and stock quadrant. Is there anyway i can adjust this by hand or does it require removing the dust shield, Cause i know my clutch only has like 1"till it grabs off the pedal.
is what my cable looks like but i dunno the brand.


How difficult is it to adjust this cable, ive been reading and i can pull the dust cover off without and fluid coming out?

Pull the dust cover.... thats all it is, a cover. If its like the cable I have you will need a 13mm deep socket and a 12mm shallow.. Take the lock nut off and then adjust the other till you get the desired pedal travel. Sounds to me as if your just out of adjustment. Do this before you drive it and glaze over the centeforce, they don't like to slip.......
