I don't exactly understand what you mean. Do you mean the clutch catches close to the floor? That is probably just how the clutch is. If you don't like the way it is then you will have to buy the clutch quadrant and firewall adjuster.

I know what you mean now. Every clutch is different. Try doing the self adjustments. Just put the car in first gear with the e brake on. Pull the clutch pedal up with your foot and then push it to the floor. Do this a few times. If that doesn't solve the problem then you will have to order the quadrant and adjuster.

I already did some thing like that by the gas pedal where the quadrant is thiers a plastic clip i pull it and pushed the clutch pedal down it stayed in place pumped the pedal couple of time and it clicked a couple of times but i noticed it adjusts itself to the last possible adjustment where the clicking happens but what i don't get is way i would need the quadrant and adjuster and do i need both or can i just buy the firewall adjuster thanks for the help

You will need both the firewall adjuster and quadrant. Don't get a new clutch cable though. The OEM one is fine and much better than the aftermarket.

I had the Steeda kit in my GT and it worked well. Most of the companies make the same design.
