all I can say is this is an awesome mod !!!!!!
took me about 50 minutes to do it
I'm 6'2" and 185 and didn't take the front seat out but it's not easy.
I bent the meal tab down which was tough but after I removed that electrical switch from the back of it with a 5.5mm socket and then with the help of some vice grips and a few other pliers, and channel locks I finally got it bent down. I wrestled it back and fourth and made small progress and kept going back and fourth until I got it bent down then I pushed it back into place once it was finally bent over.
I used a flat blade and released all the tension from the clutch pedal then pushed the tightening gear with my hand until the clutch pedal was all the way up to the top. Then I gave it 2 more clicks as per these instructions.
Driving the car the pedal engages way at the top now....when I first pulled off I thought my cable fell off the clutch fork lol I guess this is just part of it but no big deal just will take some getting used to.
It otherwise engages the same and I can still slip it just the same as before also. I slid the car sideways in 3rd just the same and the clutch held in 4th under WOT just the same as before so the clutch is not slipping.
Now the good part !
I can actually row these damn gears finally !!!!!!!!! the car feels so much faster and I'm sure it would actually yeield better ET's actually being able to hit the gears. It feels soooooo much better and even at low speeds it goes into all gears much much better. I loved hitting 3rd perfectly at ~6,800 rpm's
I can't beleive I spent a bunch of money on a triple hook and firewall adjuster before on my 2000 GT for what I believe to be the exact same result. Plus this mod is just about as easy or easier than putting in all those new parts.
