exactly...that's why you need to adjust the collar out...it makes the effective path of the cable longer and has the effect of shortening the cable (since you aren't actually changing the length of the cable, but rather the cable sleeve)
but I'm done with this...to the OP good luck getting it sorted...if your quadrant is good I'd look at a stretched cable
I still think me cable is worn. This is a brand new clutch and i know that the Adjuster moving out shortens the cable. As the clutch wears you need a shorter cable, not a longer cable.
From my understanding, my cable is stretched..... i will prove Bob wrong when i get a new cable and the adjuster is back inside the firewall where it should be.
also have to take into account that he is using an aftermarket quadrant that probably dosent eat up as much cable as the stock oneI have not seen a cable stretch for an inch or more without (a) getting tough to press the clutch pedal as the wires have to break to let it stretch; (b) breaking soon thereafter due to the individual cable wires breaking...
On my fork-end adjuster, the threaded stud is probably 1.5" of threads, maybe 2", and on a new clutch, the nut is all the way on the stud, when it is time to replace, the nut is just barely on the end of the stud. So the firewall adjuster needs at least 1.5" and probably closer to 2" of travel, plus slop on either side to account for varying clutch disk thickness, etc...
so how many of you guys actually have a firewall adjuster?
See sig...and I've also had to replace 2 clutch cables and a clutch.

so as your clutch wears the pedal gets firmer and higher and you have to adjust the firewall adjuster IN and loosen the cable to get the travel correct???
'cause on mine when I adjust it IN the pedal gets sloppier and looser (and if it goes in enough it'll fall off the quadrant)...and as the clutch wears I need to adjust OUT a bit to get the clutch pedal snug againit's only worked that way for about 85/90,000 miles so maybe I've been doing it wrong
