Cable operated clutch ??

Fox body use some sort of ratchet system on the clutch petal to adjust the slack, I know my buddy has had alot of issues with his stock set up.

That's because everybody upgrades the clutch and expects the stock quadrant to hold up. It won't. That's why aftermarket quadrants are available a dime a dozen. It's a good design. Like anything else, when you upgrade, you need to upgrade the whole system.
