Default Clutch cable ajuster and Slight Curb Rash problems.

Well since no one on the V6 Forum has never heard of a fire wall clutch cable ajuster and any of you guys explain how this would benfit me? And yes i have the T-5 tranny that a lot of you 96-98 gt guys have. When i take off she takes a long time to grab, and when let her tak up, push the clutch in and let it out in the next gear she kinda jumps forward.

I also was going through the drive through and i kinda rubbed the rear drivers side wheel against the curb, I know i should get larger tires but its what came on the car, so is there anything i can do?

Do you have a stock clutch or aftermarket, im not 100% on it but i don't think you really need an adjuster for a stock clutch but i may be wrong

no i have never smelled anything. It is the stock clutch. I probally should add that the chick i bought the car from, was selling the car becasue she didnt know how to drive it.

u dont need an adjuster. an adjuster is going to move the actual actioation point. u are releasing the clutch and its slipping. u need a new clutch first of all, then if you dont like were it catches then u can get an adjuster, but on a crappy stock clutch its a waste

as for the curb rash
option 1- get new rims
option 2- mess all of them up and tell people thats how its supposed to be
option 3- put on a product called never dull and it will clean the scratches but the roughness will still be there

P.S. dont go through drives that are tight
