If it's stock and the cable hasn't loosened up any on the clutch fork you should be able to reach down and pull the pedal up and it will readjust. I hated all that stock plastic crap so put in a steeda kit. Couldn't be happier with it.

Edit: Oh and if the linkage ends up not being the problem, sounds like your pressure plate is collapsing due to age or a bad throwout bearing. If thats the case worse things are going to happen soon lol. Good luck.

Is what your looking for. I know other namebrands exist but this is the one I bought. Hardest part about changing it is getting up under the dash to undo it all. Just unbolt old stuff, and bolt up new stuff. You dont have to tear it up or anything it's just that it's annoying if your tall.

Throw out the stock clutch assembly, and beef up for the S/C.....If money isn't a problem of course. And yes, it happend to me on my 00' GTwith more stuff happening about a day later it would only run in second without grinding in other gears. Maybe it had something to do with my pressure plate being in 2 pieces?
