Just finished installing the steeda quadrant and firewall adjuster. What a pain in the butt. Not hard, just a pain. The movement of the clutch feels so much more precise now. Just a question though, the clutch grabs alot higher now. What do I adjust to lower where the clutch grabs? The firewall adjuster or the cable itself? Thanks!

Originally posted by Terrible Juan How long did it take you, what was the hardest part, what special tools did you use, and were there any huge modifications that you had to do?
It took about three hours. Make sure you take your seat out!! Hardest part was getting the old quadrant out. I lost one of the springs taking the old quadrant out and it took me a while to find it. No special tools needed and no mods at all. Let me know if you have any more questions. Best thing I can tell you is don't get pissed when you can't get the old one out. Good luck!

when you install it, you adjust the cable to about halfway on the rod (it will break if you tighten it all the way to the end) then from there you just use the firewall adjuster.

Haha. I will definitely PM you if I decide to shove one of those in.

Thanks Vortex! That's where I put it. I had to cut a about a 1/4" off the bolt so the dust cover would go on. Is that normal?
Terrible Juan, anytime man. I'd be more than willing to help you as best I can.
