if you have the stock quadrant also, pull up on the pedal hard and then press it down to the floor.

all the stock setups are that way.
there's no "fix" for a worn out clutch disc though.
adjustable cables are garbage, keep the stock cable and get a MM quadrant and firewall adjuster if you want an actual upgrade.

How many times do I have to pull the clutch pedal up and slam it down? I get a click when I pull it up then I slam it down feels like it helped just a tiny bit but its still really low.. So just wondering if I have to do abunch of time?

Only have to do it once or twice. either the clutch is worn out or cable may have stretched.

I just bought a ford racing adjustable clutch cable and it feels way better! Feels brand new.
Come to find out I already had 1 already it was just so fucked up that it looked like it was chewed on and it wasn't allowing me to engage in my gears to easy

all the adjustable cables are like that, they are garbage.
