Just had my 93 LX's T5 rebuilt.
Replaced the clutch too. It had a King Cobra and I replaced it with a clutch from our local shop. The K Cobra had 2400lbs base pressure and the new one is 2300lbs. BTW. The new one is way easier to push, not just 5% easier but like half the effort.

Onto the question. I have an aluminum quadrant and my cable is threaded down at the trans end. How tight should that cable be?

anyone?

It should be fairly tight w/ your foot off the pedal. You don't want too much slack in it or the other end will come of the quadrant. I just pulled mine w/ my hands and then tightened it down w/ the locking nut using a wrench. If you don't have an adjustable cable, you might want to get a firewall adjuster or move the cable to a different hook on the quadrant.

Thanks GSP, That's pretty much where I have my adjustable cable now. Any looser and my clutch engages too close to the floor. Presently it engages about 2/3's the way up. Where does yours start to engage?

My fear is the throwout bearing preloaded against the pressure plate fingers will prematurely wear it out.

Mine engages about 1/2-2/3's of the way down. I need to tighten it a little so that it's a little less than 1/2. If you greased everything properly, it should be okay.
