[QUOTE="stvdman, post: 9443027, member: 11572"] BLAST FROM THE PAST! The reason I am posting this is I followed this thread, and Cobra Bob's Terminator FAQ #'s 4.9 and 5.10 (Hard to Shift). I followed 5.10's advice of : "What needs to be done to PROPERLY adjust the cable is you need to move your seat back and steering wheel all the way up. Then you need to push the clutch down with one hand and hold the white adjuster with your other hand in its place, then pull the clutch pedal up. When you do this you are preloading the adjuster and taking up the clutch cable slack by pulling the pedal up. When you do this, you should hear clicks from the pedal preloading on the adjuster plastic teeth. You can do this as much as you want, then your clutch pedal will engage much higher and your clutch will disengage properly to allow you to shift faster." I followed it the way I thought I should and couldnt get anything done. I did two things thats not really clear above (at least for me): 1. Prior to holding/pushing on adjuster I lifted up SLIGHTLY on the clutch pedal. this seemed to release the adjuster. 2. I then pushed in the clutch pedal and AT THE SAME TIME held the white adjuster. SO adding that into the above it would read: What needs to be done to PROPERLY adjust the cable is you need to move your seat back and steering wheel all the way up. Then push on/hold the white adjuster, push the clutch up slightly, once adjuster releases slightly, keep holding the adjuster and push the clutch pedal down, release the adjuster and then pull the clutch pedal up. When you do this you are preloading the adjuster and taking up the clutch cable slack by pulling the pedal up. When you do this, you should hear clicks from the pedal preloading on the adjuster plastic teeth. You can do this as much as you want, then your clutch pedal will engage much higher and your clutch will disengage properly to allow you to shift faster. Thats what I did. I did it twice. Now the clutch engages about 3.5" from the floor vice the 1" it did before. I am not 100% certain I did it right, but it sure feels better. If something is wrong with what I did please feel free to point it out. I would be happy to remove this if what I did would hurt someone elses Cobra. [/QUOTE]
