it's not just your clutch that was the issue.

you have no adjustability either.

you need to get a firewall adjuster and quadrant as well...

and get an RXT...and you'll never have to worry about this again...

but do it all at once you upgrade to a 26 spline input shaft when you do the t56 swap.

Clutch ain't exactly the easiest to operate so i was thinking of a temp fix it until I go with a t56

get the adjustment issues fixed first then...that is a big issue alone.

then go with a DFX minimum

Whatever you do don't get an adjustable cable. Keep the stock cable and buy a double hook quadrant and a firewall adjuster. Brand doesn't matter.

The Maximum Motorsports kit is a better setup but it changes where the clutch pedal engages, it won't engage off or close to the floor like the other cable kits, it will engage half way from the floor, also it's more work to put in.
