Yeah, the length of the cable determines that. They also sell firewall adjusters but most cables can be adjusted where it connects to the clutch fork.

Stock cables are adjustable via the clutch pedal, not fork.

On another note, do not adjuste the clutch cable to change the feel. It will engage in different locations based on the clutch wear and what cable you have installed. Whatever setup you run, it needs to be adjusted to ensure it is fully engaged when the clutch pedal is not pressed, and fully disengaged when pressed.

If you start adjusting an already adjusted clutch, you will start grinding/burning the **** out of the clutch...

Oh its cool.. I am just in kind of a new world here.. I mean I own a 2001 Ford Focus and I had a 95 Del Sol.... My idea of tuning a car is plugging my laptop into the DLC and remapping things with ECU-Tune software and a programmable engine management system...

Not really an option on a car where setting the idle means adjusting the wire-clamp on the throttle body, and setting the advance or retard means a 1/2 socket on the bolt under the distributor and giving the whole shebang a spin...

I feel like a total noob here.. Just the same I am more then happy to learn and take advice from more experienced individuals.. This car has some serious power, I mean the lugnuts on this thing take more torque to tighten then the del-sol motor puts out!!!
