Installing a new clutch quadrant. Help!?

[Pokageek]

Hey guys,

Like the title says and it is aluminum and:

#1 it has an adjuster piece on the firewall side of the engine bay and I dont know what to do with that.
#2 it dont have the stock pieces for the springs to attach to. Is this normal? Where do they go now?
#3 It looks like the stocker clutch quadr has 2 parts and this only has one..Looks like I am supposed to remove the small piece (piece #2 ) in the back but I cant get it off and I even took the clip out!

Anyone know how to do this?

Oh yea,and I don't know which one they sold me but looks like this http://www.lethalperformance.com/pa...ick-firewall-adj-and-clutch-quadrant-kit.html

1. goes through the firewall from the outside--you need to unscrew your stock firewall grommet (save the little grommet cause you might need to us it to take up the play/space so the cable won't giggle), undo/shave down whatever you need to in order to get the cable to fit into the new fwa. then you place it in the hole just as the stock one was (usually comes w/ a screw like the stock firewall piece had to keep it from jiggling).

2. you don't use any of the stock quadrant stuff <except for the pins that go on the clutch pedal rod that keep the new quadrant from sliding out>. some people use washers to keep the new quadrant from sliding around, but i didn't (neither did JT, i believe)--it really won't because of the tension of the cable.

3. rip it out. you're not gonna need the stock pawl/quadrant, the springs anymore so no need to not break it, hehehe. just watch your eyes when your under the dash breaking it out.

the new quadrant just slides into the clutch pedal rod, and put a pin on the rod to keep the new quad from sliding out as you work. doesn't use any of the self-adjusting stuff (the springs, pawl w/ all the little teeth, etc, since you can now finely adjust it manually) anymore.

hook up the cable (always found it easier to hook it at the quadrant first, then use a prybar at the clutch ford to get it hooked there second) with the fwa either all the way out or all the way in, and adjust as necessary.

really not hard, man--if i can do it by myself, anyone can.
