the clutch quadrant on any 5.0 mustang is a self adjusting set up and the self adjustment is accessed by pulling all the way up on the pedal then push back down...if it still gives you problems..invest in a adjustable set up with a firewall adjuster too

I've heard of that method too.... I wonder if I need to do that, bc my 90 likes to go forward on its own practically.... then again I might need to adjust the nuts on the cable on the side of the tranny

the self adjusters like not to work...
i noticed the other day that my self adjuster is maxed out... i was afraid of that. looks like i need a new clutch soon
i would get a firewall adjuster though.

you can crawl under the dash and take a peak at the assembley and see if anything may be jammed or broken
