Number one, the purpose of the adjustment is to compensate for the inevitable wear in the clutch. It is NOT to yield a softer clutch - it won't. The clutch will work BETTER, not EASIER.

An adjustable clutch cable (I would recommend a firewall adjuster type) will allow the position where the clutch functions to be more finely tuned, but IT will not yield a soft clutch such as is commonly found with cars with small engines and hydraulic power assist clutches.

Also, if you are having issues other than the lack of a hydraulic clutch (now available on 2005 and newer Mustangs) read carefully the several posts that deal fully with adjusting the clutch itself, which goes far beyond messing with the quadrant.

hey i've got a question for you.. Hopefully you'll be able to give me some advice I recently paid a guy to put in a clutch in my 96 gt. i had the flywheel turned and all and at first it used to shake letting out the clutch and other than that seemed fine as far as the pedal is concerned... but i was driving the other day and i was comming up a wet hill and punched it in 1st and it spun no prob hit 2nd and it spun then grabbed then i went to shift into 3rd and had like no pedal... i don't have a clue what to do.. I just hope i didn't kill the new clutch or something. it don't grind or anything but my pedal is litterally on the floor you barely let it move and your going. used to be at like the middle of the stroke. I'm gonna check the clearance.. I'm not sure how to adjust the throw out bearing if it's not at .030'' please try to explain it to me if ya would just tring to find a solution with out having to pull the transmission again... i greatly appreciate any advice..

Sounds like you have a messed up cable, or a stripped quadrant. The quadrant is plastic and a known weakness. Ditto the cable when it gets some age on it, or if the firewall flexes, etc, etc. Probably the cable. You will have to get up under the dash with a flashlight to eyeball the quadrant and where the cable hooks up, and under the car to do the same with the arm and the cable where it hooks up.

Review the posts at the top of this thread that go through the procedures for adjusting the clutch as well.

Who did the clutch install? You might take it back to them and see what they say if you are not a mechanic.
