So I hop in today and my clutch goes about halfway down before stopping the when I press harder there's one solid click and it drops to the floor. I'm hoping it's just the cable and not something else where I have to get under the dash in that tight area and have to remove all kinds of shit. Any input where should I start please and thank you.

Sounds like your quadrant took a shit. Replace it with aftermarket quad and call it.

Check your rubber bushing on the firewall and see if that's jack up cuz mine did the same and split my firewall to where I had to make a plate cuz the whole was to big from it

+1 on the quadrant as well. Do you have a stock clutch cable or aftermarket? If you have stock pick up an adjustable cable and aluminum quadrant from American Muscle or LMR. If your firewall cracked you will need to rig up some kind of metal plate to stop the problem.


Good luck!
