Just like Engel, i am having problems getting my shifter in gear. again i am going to adjust the cable (loosen it at the fire wall adjuster, tighten it at the clutch fork) but it seems like over time i have to keep adjusting it to maintain the proper pedal height.
my questions are a bit different though.

i have a d&d viper spec t56 not a t5---so should i have a different clutch fork? i am pretty sure the one in my trany came with it but not 100%postive. are there different clutch forks out there that would offer more leverage and lighter clutch pedal pressure? if so where do i look, what is the best one? i get such a f-ing work out when stuck in traffic. it seems like the pedal gets closer and closer to the floor as the heat builds in it (from sliding-stop+go). it gets so bad that my new mgw shifter grinds going into gear, and the pedal feels like its glued to the floor. i have to blip the throttle to get the clutch to open and when its at its worst i cant get it into reverse. what a bitch, so if anyone out there can help me out by say suggesting parts or checking overlooked areas on my car you would really make my day. ill buy anything to make daily driven commutes easier on my left leg.

edit: I got under my car and it was the cable connecting to the clutch fork. doh @&*& %$#@@#! Turns out i only have one nut on the cable and its sliding rearward. looks like i need to take care of this somehow. a trip to the parts store is my next stop
