i took my cable of when i had my stock clutch and for some reason it got even harder to push, it is not the lightest clutch to begin with. i have an rxt now, 1000hp and its like driving a civic.

My stock clutch cable just snapped last week (65,xxx miles) After replacing it with a new OEM cable the clutch feels much better. It's still a heavy clutch by design, but the pedal effort improved greatly with a new cable.

Clutch Issue

My Clutch is seriously hard to push the word on the street is the input shaft is dirty due to previous owner living on a dirt road. My question can I lube this thru the inspection port on t56?

This is flat out amazing!

Can you tell us, or do you have a thread of list all of the parts you have had to replace during your ownership? Just curious... Lol

My 04 isn't that bad, even when it was all stock, not too hard to push in...the quadrant /adjuster didn't really make much difference. I think maybe the 04 clutch was slightly revised?

Mine is squeaking and chirping (only 51k miles), so how EASY is this replacement? Got a write-up for us?

51k I'd say your doing pretty good! I have a horrible metallic sound and I'm only at 23k!
