I just replaced my clutch, flywheel, and throwout bearing. It works great but I have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to be able to shift. The pelican article says "To make the clutch grab high on the clutch pedal, loosen the screw on the clutch cable.". That doesn't make sense to me. Anyway how do I adjust this thing?

You adjust the cable at the transmission end. There is a threaded portion at the end of the clutch cable where it attaches to the fork. Tightening the nuts there (there should be two, one for adjustment and the other as a locknut) will bring the clutch action towards the top of the pedal. After adjusting you should have about 1/2"- 3/4" of free play when you PULL on the clutch pedal (most cars you check freeplay by pushing on the pedal).
