Alright

I was at a gas station the other day and when I went to leave, something popped really loud and I lost all clutch pedal except for about 2" at the very bottom of the pedal. So I put a new Maximum Motorsports clutch cable, clutch quadrant, and firewall adjuster in it. Adjust everything right, and as soon as I push the pedal in, does the exact same thing. Any thoughts?

When you took all the old hardware out to replace it with the MM hardware did you find the fault? Was anything you replaced broken? If not, you may have an issue with the clutch release arm or release bearing.

Also, check your fire wall where the cable comes out, my firewall actually buckled behind the quadrant and screwed up the engagement spot on my clutch. I had to shim it with a wide washer to get it back to normal. But it might be as simple as your cable retainer slipping on your clutch's operating arm.

Found the problem.

The clutch fork itself has "wallerd" itself out enough to where it just barely catches on the throwout bearing. As soon as any pressure is applied to it, it just slips off.
