RE: Stiff Clutch
I hope you didn't get a valeo clutch. It would of said valeo on the pressure plate. My car came with a valeo clutch and it was incredibly stiff. I swapped it out for a centerforce.

RE: Stiff Clutch
you better start gettingused to it. When i first bought my car it had a king cobra clutch. I have a firewall adjuster/quadrent and everything and it was still extremley stiff, i also thought it was an adjustment issue but nothing helped. When i put my centerforce in i couldnt believe how much easier it was than my king cobra

So, either they burned you... you have a bent clutch fork, a bound up cable, or someone screwed up the installation.
Any chance you got the HD rather than the KC??

I don't think they sold me a knock off. And the clutch fork is brand new. I'm changing the cable this week. It could be that the mechanic screwed up the installation. He was telling me the cable is the reason the car won't start. But after I posted the symptoms here in the forum (and getting some really good feedback) the problem was a single wire that was disconnected from the Ignition switch. I reconnected the wire and the car fired right up.

Well If this new cable doesn't work, I'll definitely be putting in a new clutch! I don't want to get used to that!

I never understood that b/c its advertised as being 10% less pedal effort than stock. If you have the stock cable and quadrant installing new ones might make it a lil easier to press.

+1 on the adjustable clutch cable and quad. i've drivin a king cobra clutch when i was lookin for 5.0's last year.....hate it, i dont know why its so damn hard to push the pedal in.
