I seem to have run into a unique issue from what I can gather through Google. I installed the Race Roots clutch reinforcement bracket after my stock bracket snapped - the usual place, the thin outer/upper portion by the hood latch cable.
After a long (cold) night of running back and forth from my stranded car to a workbench to work on the assembly and then back to put it back in, I got the car started and working. It shifted smoother than it ever has since I picked it up five years ago, but the shifts have deteriorated again and I'm having trouble even getting the car into first or reverse to get it moving. I adjusted the clutch rod as far out as I could get it to go tonight, which seems to have eased the issue but not entirely. I can't move it out any farther or it'll pop right out of the bracket attached to the pedal.
The assembly is already as far towards the firewall as the bracket will allow it to go. However, the pedal appears to be hovering about a half inch in front of the brake pedal (towards the driver), which I've read it should be even with.
tl;dr I'm curious if anyone makes extended clutch rods for our vehicles. I only need another half inch or so before it'll work flawlessly again. That, or an alternative way to move the clutch assembly farther back towards the firewall.
