i have a 79 5.0 notch back and the clutch engage/disengage point is to close to the floor i was wondering if anyone knows how to adjust it

[wiseguy313]

if its an aftermarket cable there should be 2 nuts on the end of the cable where it goes through the clutch fork

Pull up on the clutch pedal.

thanks i tryed pulling up on the pedal and is like an old style there is no ratchet thing on it i will have to crawl under it and look tommorw

[wiseguy313]

if its a stock cable throw it in the garbage along with the self adjuster and get the steeda double adjustable cable and quadrent. the firewall adjuster is nice 2.the kit is only a $100 it works great.

[79fox]

i am honestly not sure if its the stock one or not just got the car in november off a race guy who was in the process of rebuilding it is there a way to tell?

[wiseguy313]

look behind the clutch fork if thers 2 nuts

[wiseguy313]

is the self adjuster under the dash?

[wiseguy313]

u prob have an adjustable cable there 2 nuts on the end of the cable loosen em and turn the front nut it will adjust the cable. it doesent take many turns of the nut 2 adjust it go half turns and check it

[79fox]

no its just the clutch lever with a male piece and the cable has a female its like a ring that goes around the male piece on the lever

^ sounds like a stock cable to me and since it's grabbing close to the floor it's too loose and is most likely stretched.

Do yourself a favor and don't get the adjustable clutch cable when you replace it.. it's lower quality and it's a pain in the ass to adjust. You'll have to install the cable, try it out and crawl under the car and adjust they the cable at the clutch fork then try it out again and if not good crawl under again blah blah blha sucks balls. Buy an OEM cable and pickup a steeda or such aluminum quadrant (replaces the shitty plastic one under the dash that cracks and stretches over time) and firewall adjuster which will be your way of adjusting the cable. Simple and easy to reach but if you do this and the adjustable cable then god you'll have to dick with both parts to dial in your clutch adjustment and it sucks trust me I've been trhough it.
