Default Spent the Day with the Stang!

i thought i'd share with you all!
i pulled my car into the shop this morning and installed my Spec stage1 clutch, Spec aluminum flywheel and FRPP aluminum driveshaft; also replaced the rear main seal, pilot bearing, and throwout bearing. the entire job took me about 6 hours. car sounds quite different (better) , when standstill revving and startup. also ordered a steeda adjustable clutch cable, quadrant, and firewall adjuster which came in this afternoon, good thing too, because the clutch needs to be adjusted BADLY. clutch wont engage until the pedal is completely up, and it slips under light throttle, even in 1st.
i'll let you all know how it is tomorow when i adjust it!

installed the clutch quadrant, cable, and firewall adjuster today, the clutch feels great!
took me about an hour to get them done, no more slipping!

I wonder if its normal to feel the clutch real soft and easy when gearing after it was intalled but later it becomes a little bit harder when pressed down and harder to shift.

dont know, my pedal is a whole lot softer/smoother than it was before, i'd like it if it were to stiffen up a little bit, either way, im happy with it.

Just let me know how it becomes later. and remember to drive your car 500 miles so it can brake down, and will last more.
