Before I begin, I must say, that you two are definitely overdue to change each of your tampons.....Although it is pretty funny reading two of the most knowledgable guys on the forum bicker like b*tches towards each other!!
I agree w/ both.. the quadrant DOES flex, and is a sh*tty quadrant if its stock. How do I know? B/c I'm dealing with it myself. Hoss is right that it is a hell of alot easier to bang through the gears w/ a good short throw (ex. Pro5.0, Tri-ax, MGW, etc) Buttttt, Hoss are you going to tell me that I don't know how to drive either?! I have a Steeda Tri-ax and sometimes running through the gears it's easy to miss third. Now, will either of you ladies care to help a brother out by telling me where I can find a replacement for the sh*tty stock quadrant??

I prefer Tampax, Hoss what brand do you use? Cuz MINE is better! Hahahaha!
Ice, as far as a replacement, I got the steeda kit to replace mine if I recall...it was like 80-90$ i think...cable, cable adjuster, quadrant all in one kit. I did however look through my parts the other day, and i realized I have the aftermarket steeda cable installed, and the OEM one in my box of goodies. The reason being, now that i remember, is that the OEM cable would not work with the Steeda Firewall adjuster...I am trying to remember why but, I digress...it has left my mind for good I fear...

So Steeda sells a kit that includes the clutch cable, clutch quadrant and cable adjuster all in one ehh...? What can you tell me about it? How does the clutch feel? I realize I will have to replace my clutch sometime this year, especially during the big winter project, but I'm looking to just fix this BS quadrant problem now and will probably just pick up that Steeda kit if it's worth it.
