just want to have everything in order when I order the final part that way nothing suprises me when I decide to do it. that and I have never done it so need to know how. pics are a plus :thumbsup1:

my most famous trick.........


















BRING IT TO ME:yes1:

Dosent your car allready have a adjuster on it??? If it does the hard part is done,removing the stock quadrant.......You should be able to just remove the cotter pins and slide off the old quadrant,and install the new one......when you start looking,its located over the gas pedal.......Basicly you need a pair of pliers to remove the pins,A 8mm socket or wrench to remove the mount for the cable,maybe a 1.4 socket to remove the cable from the firewall,and possibly a pry bar,to remove the cable from the fork......Its not hard,just a lot of laying on your back (like you haven't heard that before:lol1:)

get a skinny friend to do it.

wouldnt be a bad ide to pull the seat out, and pull the studs out of the floor, or srill two holes in a 2x4. so the studs dont scape up your back.

pull the carpet down out of the footwell. that extra half inch will make it much easier to get the quadrant out.

hell i did mine in the clemson parking lot with a couple friends and then drove it home.

got the seats in and out down pat. I just usually throw a sweat shirt or towel over the front studs.

yea driver seat has got to come out, I'm small and it's just too annoying to weasel yourself in and out of there. the instructions that came with my steeda adjustable clutch said to put the firewall adjuster inside the cabin and just adjust under the dash, that's way hard, I put mine in the engine compartment

just make sure you ask your smart ass friend to push down the clutch pedal... simply asking him to depress the clutch pedal will result in said smart ass friend telling the clutch pedal it sucks at life.

never seen one go inside the cabin, always seen them on the firewall inside engine compartment.
