    OK so i swaped the pedals outta my gt into the convert to get the clutch pedal. once the motor was in the car i tryed to crank it and the clutch will not disengage i took the tranny out and had someone under the car look and see if the cable was pulling it is but not enough. and i didnt put the spacer for the pedal assy becaus the one in the other car was the same. what is wrong with it? please help!

    If its a stock cable pull up on the clutch pedal. You will hear it make a ratcheting sound

    You might want to install an aftermarket (metal) quadrant and firewall adjuster. It could save future issues (when the stock pieces strip).

    i agree, my 89 had to have a metal one cuz the plastic ones stripped every 3 or 4 months, a ford racing adjustable was only about $79 in '03, get it if your pressure plate and throw ou bearing aren't the problem...well worth it...
