clutch quadrant
I am getting ready to do a clutch on my 01 t-45. I know the clutch has the auto adjuster. Do I need to reset this or will it reset itself when i undo the cable from the clutch fork?

Once you have everything hooked back up, pull up on the pedal by putting your foot underneath it for a few seconds, you should hear a click. This means it's adjusted. Whatever you do, do not buy an aftermarket quadrant or a firewall adjuster, it barely helps with the pedal location, they are a pain to set right, and they make your pedal vibrate like a mother and it sounds terrible. Everyone I know who has had them, both upr and steeda went back to stock. I'm still running my steeda but I hate it.

UPR's are know to rattle, but it sounds like install error
It really is about strength/adjust-ability not pedal height

the UPRs do rattle depending on where you have the FWA set at. i reinstalled mine several times, believe me, its no install error. anyway, i would suggest getting an aftermarket quadrant, the original one is a huge piece of crap

not 100 percent sure but i think with an aftermarket cable you have to buy a aftermarket quadrant. if you decide to do that let me know i have a quadrant and cable and fire wall adjuster that came off my 02 mustang pm me. i am willing to let it go for a fair price

WOW!! I bought a UPR set up(cable,quadrant, firewall addjuster) over a year ago and never have had any of the symptoms you speak of!!!! Didn't fix my original problem but, didn't add any new ones either!!!!

yeah you only have the rattle if you have the FWA adjusted incorrectly. UPR's quick click FWA is actually very easy to adjust so im not sure what that guy was talking about. my problem did not get fixed by it either, but i contribute that to a well-used clutch that will need replacing soon. and my shifting feels a lot better, plus the plastic quadrant will end up breaking on you sooner or later, so you might as well buy an aftermarket one (mine was so worn that the self-adjust mechanism didnt work anymore)

i have a steeda one in my car and its great. no noise, easy to adjust, and it doesn't occasionally over-adjust my pedal like the stocker. its also a much stronger peice than stock.

horrible advice. the stock one is a peice of crap. now maybe if you said cable, then i would agree.
