Should there be any play in clutch pedal? I have about an inch of play when you push on the clutch that requires no effort. I can pretty much rattle it with my fingers and it'll jump up and down. I do have the ford racing adjustable quadrant. Is there supposed to be tension on the entire stroke of the pedal?

diddo - I have about an inch or more of play at the top of the pedel. I hate it. I'm in the habbit of after every shift pulling up on the clutch peddle with the top of my foot. Bugs.
I also have an adjustable cable new in box that I'm holding off on installing because the stock one is supposed to be self adjusting. But the play bugs me.
Advice? ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

I also have the same problem, but I have an adjustable setup (including a firewall adjuster). The cluthc play is annoying. I have not taken the time yet to look at why there is play.

Im not sure this is it but it may be. Since 5.0 have a self adjusting clutch quadrent( where you pull up the clutch pedal then press it down to adjust) They also have a thing called a "pawl" that holds the adjustment. That may be your problem being if its broken or the teeth are worn down.

Get back to us when you do it! Mine isn't really a mushy feeling. It just flaps around, but stays up.

one click and my play is gone. feels great! only thing I keep doing is lifting the pedel after shifting (out of habbit) thus resetting the pedel play and I can't figure out the tab thing in the article. But it works great if I remember not to lift the pedel with my toe in between shifts. great article
