It's one of those things where, the first time, it may take an hour. The second time, it will take 10 minutes. It's really awkward, but not too difficult, once you figure out how the quadrant works.

it involves funny back breaking positions under the steering wheel to remove the cable from the quadrant

haha i hate that shyt. phuckin king cobra clutchs suck. me and 3 fox body buddys were out cruisin on night and stopped at a go kart place and did some racing, went to leave, and some guy was saying get on it, so i pressed the clutch in to rev it up a bit and broke the cable and stalled it [:@]

it was my first time doing one, so we rolled it onto a curb to "jack it up to get under it" and a buddy drove me to auto zone to get a new cable, and we layed under it till about 2am doing it with no tools or lights other than cell phones, then drove it home. i fear breaking another one.
