Firewall Adjuster w/ stock clutch quadrant, possible?

[Kerpal]

Yes, yet another FWA/clutch cable/quadrant question... sorry. Mine is kind of an odd one though.

Is it possible to install a firewall adjuster when still using the stock clutch quadrant? I was just driving along the other day when my shifter became near impossible to get into all gears. I'm pretty sure the cable is just stretched out b/c if I drive barefoot and push the clutch all the way down to the floor it'll ease into gear.

I have a UPR firewall adjuster sitting around and I'm thinking maybe that would take up enough slack in the cable, but I've never heard of anyone running a FWA with a stock quadrant. Is it possible?

I'll be ordering an aluminum quadrant and probably a new OEM cable, but I really can't be without a car for the next few days. This is like the worst possible time for this to happen, I have classes starting and a couple job interveiws this week.

Yeah, you can use the stock quadrant with a firewall adjuster. There is a rubber grommet on the cable where it meets the firewall. You will have to take that off your old cable. Then put your firewall adjuster in and re-attach your cable to the quadrant. The thing is, if you're going to all the trouble to get the cable loose from the stock quadrant, you might as well go ahead and change it out for a good aftermarket quadrant.

if your going that far in adding a firewall adjuster you might as well change the quadrant all at once. just my two cents
