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

Does that work for 95s to? Would I have to go under the car I was thinkin of gettin an adjustable cable..
I also am having the issue I have to go all the way down to the floor to engage

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.

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
