--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK i just got done with my t-5 conversion, i go to start the car and nothing happens, but i fixed that problem by splicing two of the wires together on the auto tranny harness... so the car shifts fine when the car is off, but when the car is running, the clutch pedal is reeeeeally stiff, and wont go down that far to the floor. i press it down as far as i can, and the rear tires start to spin as i go into gear, but it wont FULLY go into gear..... it will just start to and start spinnin the tires.

the car is on jackstands so i don know if that matters??

and what do you think is my problem, cable adjustments????? clutch engagement???? drivetrain????

let me know ASAP, any input is appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd check the cable routing - no sharp bends.

And the adjustment - I'd set it at zero slack in the cable right now.

Good luck.

yep make sure the cable is adjusted properly. when i first did mine the cable was way too lose and when i went to push the clutch in it wasnt disengauging fully and it wouldnt let me go into gear with the car running

i ended up buying a firewall adjuster since i already had the steeda quadrant

It sounds like the cable. Put it on the ground and see how it does there.

You need an adjustable cable or FWA. The settings on the quadrant are too crude for actually adjusting the clutch. On some quadrants, extra hooks are only present for patent infringement concerns.

I think 95Vert wants you to bench test (of sorts) the cable. If it feels like crap when you slide the actual cable through the sheath [while the cable is lying on the ground], there's no way it will get any better when it's contorted through the engine compartment.

Good luck.

New or used components?

I set mine up so there was just ever so slightly any slack at all in the cable when I changed my clutch and installed the FWA...

That gave me clutch engagement midway to the floor... the pedal should not be that hard though... mine was but I had a ton of corrosion at the FW end of the cable that once I cleaned it out it was much better..
