I have a zoom clutch and a fairly new cable. I have the aluminum quadrant and firewall adjuster. I adjust it as far as possible and its still on the floor. Its also really hard to push. I guess im gonna try a new cable.. i dont really know what else it could be.. any thoughts? Thanks

is it brand new? if so it probally needs broken in. i know that when i replaced my stock one (it was really light but crappy) to the fms clutch it was really hard to push but over time it got easier. now i can shift as fast as i can.
