Try the easy thing first, do you know how to adjust the clutch?

i got a clutch quadrant and firewall adjustor off upr to adjust my clutch for about 80 bucks i think, the kit comes with an adjustable cable but i used the OEM cause its supposed to be better.
the install is fairly easy, but adjusting takes a while, i had my cousin help me out since he had done it before.

while your down there taking the cable cover off, try and take a look at your clutch with a flash light or something, you might need a new one if its slipping already.

well its a king cobra clutch with about 15,000mi on it i dont think i need a new one...but i need a kit to only if im adjusting it?

no need for a kit, with the engine off, hook your foot under the pedal and luft up till it clicks.

odds are if that doesnt work, you need a new cable, or clutch, or both

that's what I do, of courss my clutch has never slipped either so i'm not sure if it does a whole lot

i don't really get the adjustable cable thing :/ if someone could explain that would be awesome. and if the above is true then what would be the point in getting the firewall thing?

The point is the stock plastic breaks.

The point of an adjustable cable is for extra adjustment, although I personally, and numerous other's have had trouble with them keeping their settings.
