[QUOTE="ForceFedFan, post: 14546576, member: 154916"] I do have the steeda quadrant and the adjustment at the firewall that the cable goes through. Shortly after install, I could hear what sounded like a bad speedometer cable, I gave the firewall adjuster 3/4 of a turn counter-clockwise and it went away for about 100 miles but then reappeared. I can now apply light pressure to the clutch pedal and the noise goes away. When the clutch was installed I set both the fork and firewall adjustment in approx the middle so I could tighten or loosen either one, either way. There is no feathering this clutch, it's either on or off, it engages at about 3/4's of the pedal travel up from the floor. I'm really surprised and somewhat concerned about how light the pedal is. I own an 03 Mach 1 also w/ a stock clutch. The Mach 1's stock clutch is probably twice as stiff as the new Spec in the Cobra. I think the Steeda quick engagement quadrant and the billet aluminum pressure plate in the Spec are probably not the best combination. Since I don't have the heavier pressure plate I lose a lot of the spun mass inertia needed to get the car going from a stop, it requires me to engage first gear at a higher rpm. With the quick engagement quadrant and the higher rpm's required to get the car going from standing still, it's very easy to go from sitting still to bucking like a Bronco, or on the other end, stalled at a red light.
