I wouldn't buy an adjustable cable...use a firewall adjuster as the cable bolts will back off......the '93 cobra clutch will work fine it has more clamping power and about 20% less pedal pressure

ok i ran the cable again just to be safe and found it goes up around the front engine mount in a light bend then straight back to the transmission, with the cable unhooked there is no pressure or problem running the cable and the clutch. bring the transmission back into the mix and boom stiff i do believe that it is the pressure plate and i have the transmission ready to come out. My next question is what should i look for to see if when the previous owner installed this clutch it was done wrong? well the pic won't turn out like i want sorry guys

Ok thank you all for your help i got the clutch and all out today and the problem was that the tines on the pressure plate were warped because of heat, caused by the previous owner rode the clutch like a **** [:@] new clutch ordered and on it's way went with a stocker set up for now

Again thank you all
