Default big problems!

hey yall im runnin a spec stage 2 clutch steeda cable, quadrant, and firewall adjuster and have been having nothing but problems with this set up . first go around the prssure plate was too tight and took out the thrust bearing . got that fixed now im having problems again this time the lining came out of the cable and bound up the cable and damn near broke the trans and did break the pedal assembly. it BROKE THE SHAFT AND QUADRANT RIGHT OFF THE PEDALS! now im pissed.

i fixed the pedal and am running a stock cable and steeda quadrant and the clutch is too tight its got absolutely no toe play . should i just run a steeda clutch with no firewall adjuster .

opinions are needed and welcomed . im tired of having problems with this junk

Ive never had a problem with steeda's cable, adjuster or quadrant on 3 clutches. However I had a boat load of problems with Spec.. Went to some shops and they told me Spec is a hit and miss.
