He has legs like Mirko Cro-Cop. He's lucky he hasnt gotten a little too amped up in a race and punched the clutch through the floorboards.

I got the cable with the adjuster at the fork. The clutch engages just before the
pedal hits the firewall. I also put in a shifter that was purchase on Ebay for about
50.00. Works great.
Got under the car and noticed leaks by the PS pump. Fun fun fun.

did it change pedal pressure or did it make it more desirable for you? still stiff?

the pedal effort isn't effected by the position of the cable on the quadrant, the multiple positions are for when the clutch wears out, you put it on the farthest out hook when you put in a new clutch, then loosen it and move it back as the clutch wears. the pedal effort is effected by the plate itself. i have a king cobra in my 95 i can't stand the way it feels, i have the same frpp adjustable quadrant and cable in both my 95 and my 83, in the 83 i have a spec stage 3 that feels like butter. if it's a lousey clutch it's gonna feel lousey
