I was at a meet the other day and when we left we were all revving up our engines just for some last minute fun. I was at a dead stop, car was in 1st and the clutch was all the way in, and when i revved my car it lunged forward as if i had popped the clutch. I did it a couple more time in a parking lot and if i'm rolling and push in the clutch and rev up it acts like i mashed the gas and takes off. Why, at a dead stop with the clutch in, would my car act like i just floored it when i rev up?

Sounds like your cable is out of adjustment and your pressure plate is grabbing your clutch.

Yea, everything I've read says that while the aftermarket quadrant is a good idea, it's best to just stick with the stock cable.

his clutch is a little heavyer then yours... also it depends on the cables, some work and some break or stretch.. it also depends on your quadrent if its going to last also..
