[QUOTE="stang99, post: 553319, member: 191"] You should not need to take out the seat. I sit on the ground outside the car up close to the door hinges and reach in from there since I can't fit between the seat and the dash. It helps to bring something to sit on so you don't get too dirty. Just reach up above the gas pedal and feel around until you find the stock adjuster. Move the clutch up and down so that you can identify the adjuster, since it will also be moving. I have to lean in and bend around to reach the quadrant up above the gas pedal. Too bad no one has a shop manual so a picture of where the stock quadrant is located could be shown. The stock quadrant has a plastic tab coming off of it and you push down on the clutch and then hold the quadrant still, in place, while pulling up on the clutch. I got many clicks out of various 03 clutches by doing this and it usually is temp relief for the shifting problems. Be aware that the adjustment can slide back even after one run so it pays to check it. I was adjusting mine twice a day and getting one to three clicks out of it. This trick kept me going until I got the adjustable quadrant but my TOB is shot now and so is the clutch so I am about to get a Spec Stage 2 and throw it into the car. The stock clutch would prob be ok if you kept it adjusted from the beginning. But once it is hazed and the TOB gets worn, you are doomed to get a replacement. [/QUOTE]
