It made an already high effort clutch feel even higher effort so I removed it.  After putting everything back I tested out the clutch engagement and noticed that it doesn't truly disengage with the pedal to the floor.  When putting into 1st the rear wheels would rotate momentarily.  Only did this in first gear, didn't notice it when I put it directly into 2nd or 3rd.  Also noticed the clutch engagement happens with the pedal maybe 1.5in off the floor.  Having said all that, and concerned with the noisy tob, should I just drop the transmission and replace everything including the seal and clutch cable?  The clutch has always had a higher effort in this car compared to my old 86 gt and wouldnt mind a lower clutch effort.  Are there any recommendations from anyone on clutches or cables?  I believe everything currently on the car is factory.  Looks like factory cable, quadrant and clutch assembly(has valeo stamped on the side)Below are some pictures of what I see, car has about 167000 kms.<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200415/97ea5492fbbb6b0ec802efa22451abe8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200415/bd2b4db6e5fd7e7fd0b3ddbe83856357.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200415/0dcf1228ba2ee50d08af91f78607aa26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200415/c78fbdaf065a5056f6e3b4cf8c2aa828.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk</blockquote>
