It sounds like some nut swinger did a homebrew clutch install. The clutch pedal should engage about an inch off the floor
- clutch pedal
- under the dash where the pedal meets the other pedals- on the back of the clutch pedal is the cable attached to a quadrant- it is either plastic if stock or aluminum if aftermarket
- under the hood on the firewall to the left of the brake booster you will see where the clutch cable come out
- under the car on the driver side of the car where the engine attaches to the bellhouing you will see where the clutch cable attaches to the piece that goes into the bellhousing to activate the clutch
I have tried pulling the pedal back and pushing it down, it didn't do anythingHere's what I'm thinking. It sounds like you have the stock 2 piece ratcheting quadrant that was not reset when the new clutch was installed.
Here are some things you mIght want to look at.
1. Try putting your foot under the pedal and lifting up on it, then push it down. This is how the stock adjuster works.
2. You will need to lay the drivers side seat all the way back and lay on your back up underneath the dash with a flashlight to see if there is a 2 piece white plastic quadrant. move the pedal with your hand to see it.
3. Under the drivers side of the hood there is a vacuum tree. Almost directly underneath that is where the clutch cable goes into the engine compartment. If you see a rubber bushing about 1/2" thick it's most likely a stock cable. If there is an aluminum piece that's a firewall adjuster.
Lmao!Be Warned.... If @Davedacarpainter see's that you are cutting out and replacing floor pans-he will try to talk you into installing wheel tubs/narrowing your rear end and to drink tons of craft beer
lol
BTW, ask yourself why they would bypass the heater core....I've been to scared to pull it out of the driveway to try and shift it lol!!! I'll start googling right now haha But I really hope it is a simple fix so I can drive it for the first time. Actually have to replace a hose where previous owner had bypassed the heater core and the line busted and blew coolant all over my works parking lot lol. That'll be getting replaced tomorrow
Yeah I heard they were inexpensive but a PITA to change lolBTW, ask yourself why they would bypass the heater core....
Hooking it back up may give you a wet interior. Heater core is probably leaking.

Who needs heat anyways lol!anywhere from 4-6 hours and you have to essentially drop/remove the dash/ steering column and enjoy cursing a lot.
I probably won't be driving her in the wintertime lolEasy to say in June.
I don't have AC either lol! I never use the AC in my daily either though just roll the windows down and hope there's not heavy traffic lolOne of the luxuries of living in S fla. Havent had the heater core hooked up to a fox body car in 20+ years. Now if the A/C stopped working....
Well guys, I just got her back from the shop. Ran me a small total of $400 for parts (clutch and new clutch fork and 3 quarts of mercon V from where p.o had gear oil in it) and labor! Can't use first gear though it wants to keep popping out so i have to use 2nd to take off but I was aware of that when I got the car. I do smell a faint burning clutch smell though. Is that from where the new clutch is bedding down? Or what? My pedal still sits up high too.
They said it could be the cable as well. It functions for now though lol. Dropping some pics belowThe shop didn't say anything about the pedal being high? Post a pic of the pedal if you can. Could be improperly installed clutch cable. Something's doesn't sound right about the clutch pedal being high. I think if you figure that out you will solve other problems. First gear popping out means you have a worn transmission.
