Default Firewall Clutch Adjustment, help!

Some time ago I had a Steeda firewall clutch adjuster put in my car. The problem that I'm having with it now is when I'm driving my car the clutch pedal make a gosh-awful vibrating sound. It's like as if there is not enough tention on the clutch cable now and it is causing the clutch pedal assembly to vibrate. There is also a bracket right above the pebal that I have noticed. I'm sure it came with the firewall adjuster because it's the same color. Just wondering if anybody has had this problem and if so what do you do to fix it? I could try to adjust the tention in the cable by adjusting the firewall screw but would you do that with the clutch released or pushed in? I would appriciate any suggestions.

Steve

you can tighten it with the firewall adjuster, and you do it without depressing the clutch.

did you also get the new clutch quadrant? One of the holes on my steeda clutch quadrant was a bit too large, so now it rattles a little bit..

I'm not sure what you mean by 'quadrant'. All I know is that there is some type of bracket where the clutch cable connects to that is part of the firewall package. The 'bracket' is close to where the pedal is. It really bothers my though. I sure wish I could make the noise go away. Does anybody have any ideas?
