Default just changed my clutch

i just changed my clutch today. what a beotch that was. i had to do it on jack stands because my boss sucks and wouldnt let me use the lift after work for personal use.. anyway. it took my and my father 7 hours to do... this was my first clutch change but i think hes done them before. its a RAM clutch kit that i got from my buddy who had it in his car for 2 weeks before it got totaled. just got broken in lol. anyway i have the firewall adjuster almost all the way out and it grabs closer to the floor now. before it was near the top. guess i gotta learn how to drive it again. lol but i figured id just let u guys know.

Did you retourque the flux capacitor while you were down there? And remember to reinstall the O-pipe after 100 mile breaking

Congratulations

.....how close to the floor you can adjust it to where u want and it should be 1.5-2 inches off the floor . i had to play around with my f. adjuster to get it to where i liked it too.

i have the ford racing firewall adjuster and quadrant and an aftermarket clutch. I think stage 2 (not sure). Can I just twist the adjuster out to make the clutch engage closer to the floor? or do I have to do something else to make it adjustable
