Angry 1995 Mustang clutch and shifting problems

Okay, so I've noticed that my clutch has been grabbing almost right off the floor. I wasn't too worried about it at first, but it's getting pretty bad now. It's really close to he floor and now it's hard to put it into any gear every once in awhile, but mainly first and second. I really want to know what's up with it. I think it might be that the clutch needs adjusted so it let's out far enough. If it is the clutch can i please get help on how to adjust it? I have a 95 mustang with a king cobra heavy duty clutch. Any help will be much appreciates!

ThanK you,
Kohlmann

Pull up on the clutch with your foot untill it clicks, and that should adjust it to center.

This will work if you have the stock cable and quadrant. A lot of people swap the stock for aftermarket because they are prone to stripping. If the above metho doesnt work let us know and we will go at it from there. It could be firewall or in-line.

okay, pulling up on the clutch did not work. I have an adjustable clutch quadrant, I know this for sure. Putting it into gear seams impossible.

if you have the adj. firewall kind just unscrew it.loosen set screw then turn it counter clockwise.it will be spreading apart(the nut should be getting further away from firewall as you unscrew it.try 3 turns make shure you put et screw tight then try clutch again.keep doing this untill it is where you wnt it

Okay, the clutch cable was frayed and splitting, so I'm gonna get the maxim motorsports clutch cable. From what I have read it is the beat cable! Thanks for your help fella's.
