but it dont matter which way i adjust it....if i contract it in twords the fire wall then the pedal is as hard as a rock and is somewhat engaged when i dont even have my foot on the pedal and if i expand it away from the firewall it gets easyer but then i cant push the pedal all the way down which is a problem cause then i cant start the car..

Steeda Clutch Quadrant?

It takes real accurate adjusting, I installed one, and adjusted it to tight, it seemed to work fine, couple days later... my throw-out bearing welded to my transmission [:'(]

There should only be one place to adjust it on the clutch arm itself under the car... Nothing you can do besides play with it and test it until it's right.
