Aftermarket without the firewall adjuster. Not sure what is going on. Cracking my Firewall and clutch is STIFF as hell. Any ideas? Thanks for you help

you need a firewall adjuster if you have an aftermarket quadrant.

also make sure you're routing it correctly, if it's bent too much it will bind and be really stiff, and a bad TOB/input sleeve that TOB rides on will cause a stiff pedal too.
