So I just got done installing a new clutch kit and flywheel, and am having a few issues. I installed an aluminum 12lb flywheel and an F1 racing clutch. I got a really good deal on it. When I was putting the clutch cable back on the fork, I had to push the fork back a bit to get the cable hooked. The fork was right in the middle of the opening when the bearing touched the pressure plate. Everything looked good, so I dropped the car and took it for a ride. Whoa.
The clutch grabs at the very top of the clutch now. Like, almost all the way out. No good. It's really shuddery, but I remember breaking in a Centerforce DF on an old 5.0, so I was sort of expecting it. The clutch doesn't go all the way down to the floor, either. Before, I could press the pedal all the way down to the floor, or at least what I thought was floor. Now, it stops at what feels like an inch before the floor, and has squishy pressure. Not clutch disengagement pressure; out of cable pressure. I can force it down, but it doesn't feel like a good thing.
How do I readjust the stock quadrant? The pedal has always been waaay out since I've owned the car, and it still is. I want to readjust it back to new clutch mode. I'm assuming that's where all of my problems are; in the stock quadrant. The clutch still grabs and holds great, and with the new fluid in the trans, it shifts awesome. It's just a completely different feeling clutch pedal, that grabs at the last minute, and with some authority. Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated, as I can't stand taking off in 1st now, and I have to put 750 miles on this crap before I can go back to the track.
