do you have a stock quadrant? and just a firewall adjuster?
you can adjust the firewall all you want with a bad quad it slips and your clutch drags and you have this problem till it warms up or its able to slip.its that or you have a pos rebuild theres only 2 ways to install a throwout with the clip in the wrong or right spot. did you do the work yourself?make the builder fix the problem if its not your fault instaling it then its theirs.t5s are simple but if you leave out stuff on a rebuild you could have al sorts of problems. check the fluid level if its leaking and empty this will cause this too. and when u burn up the cobra get a 4banger t5 and diesel ranger pilot bearing you will thank me later
tran's has 2,000 mile's on it, Promotion powertrain Cobra T5, rated for 370hp, firewall adjuster and quadrant, both adjusted perfect, throwout barring is install correctly.

Thanks for the sig' Xeno!
OP - Jack up the back end. Put jack stands under the axle. Put the car in 1st gear, depress the clutch and start the motor. If the rear wheels spin - your clutch is not fully disengaging. That is your problem.
However, based on your symptom of it only going into reverse (typically reverse is the worst gear to get into when your clutch is dragging) I'd venture to guess your problem lies within the trans.
On the other hand, reving the engine up on a car with a dragging clutch will bring the input shaft up closer to matching the speed of the engine and could very well make it easier to shift.

already done this, the clutch does not start grabing till just after half way from the floor, even with the wheels in the air.
