Flip,
Mine is an early 90's CR LTD.
How far does your throwout arm ride up in the adjuster. I have to have mine up within about 1/2" of the threaded end next to the cable to get it to engage. This means that after I adjust it up enough to take the play out of the pedal (the throwout bearing is touching the pressure plate) the clutch does not work. The pedal hits the firewall. I have to adjust it approx. 2" or more on the adjuster to get the clutch to work. I talked to ED/DV tonight and he told me that the cable sheath is too short. Ed said that I need to extend the cable housing where it is coming out of the firewall to take up the slack in the cable. If you look at my photos, on page 2 there is a picture of the clutch housing where it comes out of the firewall. That housing is approx 4 1/2 to 5" long. Ed said that it needs to be 6" long for the clutch to work correctly. What is the length of the housing coming out of your firewall? How far is your adjuster cranked up? Pictures would be appreciated if you have any. I have already ordered my hydrolic setup but i can cancel it if I can get this to work correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Terry
