ORIGINAL: StockD15b

my clutch pedal kinda rattles when deacclerating, but everything seems to be tight, could it be the cable is stretched and thos the quadrant and new cable would fix this?
Not sure I understand, is this when you have the pedal pushed in or when it's out? If it's when the pedal is out, I might ask if it feels like your clutch is slipping and about to go. If it's when your pedal is in, it might be that the clutch is still sort of touching, in which case, it might mean that your cable is so stretched that your quadrant can't adjust any more to compensate. Otherwise, it might be that something is loose or maybethere is some sort of balance issue going on.

The quadrant, honestly, doesn't do much except change the curve. Anyone who has taken the plastic stocker out can atleast attest that it's really hard plastic, not nearly as "flimsy" as aftermarket quadrant sellers would have you believe. After examining my stocker, I'm pretty convinced that I was never experiencing any significant flex, even despite having an aftermarket clutch that sifinificantly increases pedal effort.

I personally got a quadrant and firewall adjuster because I like to be able to control the point where the clutch engages or releases. Note: the stocker is self-adjusting. You lose this convenience when you switch to aftermarket.
