    Clutch question??

    My clutch lately has been kinda strange. First off its seems to be engaging much higher on the pedal than before and the pedal seems to be softer. The clutch doesnt slip but it doesnt catch until when the pedals almost all the way out. It makes driving more difficult. I tried adjusting the clutch and i heard the clicks but theres no change. I adjusted it in the past and it made wonders as far as the shifting smoothness etc. So my question is, could my cable be streched,quadrant messed up etc?? I'm looking into buying a aftermarket quadrant,firewall adjuster and was wondering if that would fix the problem. Anyone had any tips,ideas. Thanks.

    eDit; Oh yea its the stock clutch and the car only has 15,000 miles on it.

    if the quadrants are the same on the newer cars like the older foxbody stangs, the stock quadrant can strip out, it will adj. still but everytime you push it back down it goes right back to spot it was it to begin with, making the clutch feel weird..

    try an aftermarket setup
