[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4952781, member: 46931"] I've used quadrants and FWA's from Maximum Motorsports, UPR, Steeda, Ram, FRPP and Fiore. It's never mattered. My Cobra still has the original clutch and quadrant, and it behaves exactly the way the the KC did in the other two cars and multiple linkages I used with. While trying to diagnose a clutch problem with my TKO several years ago, I spent hours on the phone with every clutch maker I know of. Every one of their techs without exception told me linkage does not determine where your pedal height is when the clutch engages if it is adjusted properly, the pressure plate does. I also had a Motorsport tech tell me specifically that the KC clutch is designed to grab low, it isn't my imagination or lack of adjustment. I've never had a KC engage anywhere near the middle of the pedal arc- which is how most clutches operate and where it belongs- and no amount of tweaking with any combination of linkage parts has every made it engage or disengage any higher. I don't know how you've managed to use one without noticing this, unless you just aren't as picky about your engagement height as I am. Wait- doesn't the Batmobile have an auto?:D [/QUOTE]
