[QUOTE="Clean90GT, post: 1159284, member: 18320"] So after weeks of cussing , alot of money and even more time I'm finally close to getting this sorted out. Found a crack in my firewall adjuster (not sure this was even part of the problem) quadrant had cheep plastic spacers that were falling apart and my brand new steeda cable was rubbing on the inside like it was a damn chain saw blade. New firewall adjuster , metal washers on the quadrant and a cheepy auto zone cable later.... My clutch is like pushing on a cloud! Everything is good right? Went out and tore up a 01 SS camaro... Headed back home and my pedal fades fast. S***.... Pop the hood only to discover I now have 2 clutch cables , it melted in 1/2. Ok , not that big of a deal. I figure it's a auto zone cheepy , it's not that good any how. Pick up a new auto zone cheepy cable and some fiberglass/header wrap heat tape. It's good for 500•f direct contact to 2000•f surrounding. Put it on , install the new cable (on the side of the road in the rain of course) get about 15 miles and same thing. So now I'm at a nos oem cable (apperntally from what I hear there the best for our cars) header wrap and heat sheild/tape on the clutch cable aswell. Lets see how round 5 goes... Id reccamend everyone stay away from steeda cables as mine failed from the start. Also never try to header wrap equal length headers. 65 feel of 1 inch wrap and 4 hours later , my driver side header is wrapped.... [/QUOTE]
