I've got a 98 gt with a 97 cobra engine and trans. Yesterday on my way home from the gym I noticed the pedal acting weird. It feels like there's slack in it when I let it out. Instead of it staying on my foot, I can pull my foot off of it some and the pedal slowly comes back up. I thought maybe the spring on the quadrant was bad, but it looks fine. I took off the inspection cover and the clutch and releas bearing look ok, too. It feels normal when pushing the pedal in (disengaging the clutch) but, like I said, when letting the pedal out it come back up slow and doesn't feel right. Any ideas?

It's the cable. I took it off at both ends and I can't move. Something is creating resistance inside the sheath.

When you put the cable on did you pull your pedal back towards your driver seat i made that mistake once made it feel weird as hell.

Yes I did. I ordered a new cable today. It's supposed to come in tomorrow. The one on it now is seized up.
