Trans/clutch issue while idling

[Cobra_Dusten]

I've searched, read and im still stuck.
Car is a 1994 cobra, only mods are CAI full exhaust CF clutch installed by PO, FRPP quadrant and FWA.

The drove fine when bought but after a while it started having issues going into gear if you let off the clutch at a light when in neutral. I checked the cable(aftermarket adjustable) and it had slack, so i adjusted it and all seemed well. Well, this issue came back 2-3 times, so i bought a stock cable and added the FWA that i got from a local mustang shop. The issue is worse now, and it doesn't seem to matter how i adjust the cable. I had it currently set so there is no slack and its as bad as ever. Its tight enough I almost can't turn the adjuster. Also, the clutch engages almost all the way out. Im starting to lean towards an issue with the clutch. Ive only put about 3000 on the car since bought in february. Ideas?

It might be a cable issue, but more likely something with the clutch itself. If the disk becomes weak, usually by a spring coming loose, it will not disengage fully. Go under the car and have someone push the clutch in an see how far the fork moves. If it seems normal, the next step is to take the clutch out and have a look.

This is what I was leaning towards too, but wanted to get some opinions. Thanks.

Pulled the clutch today

It looks like its not disengaging, but I can't see why, no broken parts, nothing like that. Im lost. Going to replace the clutch and see what happens.

Yeah, I can't say that I can see anything wrong with it either, but it's obviously not diesngaging. The springs look like they are in there solid. You don't have a bent clutch fork or anything do you? I don't suppose you have a clutch shop near by do you?

I have a tranny shop local, but not sure what good that would do.
Here's the fork
