I am back! Need some help though...
Dumped the 04 Cobra last year, and bought a new 2005 F150 Supercrew 4x4. Got the bug again and bought a 2002 Z06 w/6300 miles on her. Great car! Two issues though. The clutch does not engage until the pedal is half way up...not sure if the car just sat too long and I need to flush the fluid or what. Also, on the right side of the guage cluster, the #1 Fuel and #2 Guages buttons do not light up when the lights are turned on, since LED's do not burn out, I am wondering if this may be a wiring issue? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

My clutch engages almost at the end. When I let my son drive the car, he put it in reverse and kept reving the engine. The car wasn't moving and I told him he probably didn't get it all the way in reverse. He tried again and it still wasn't moving. It turns out he was used to his Nissan clutch and he figured that since the car wasn't moving with the clutch half way out, something must be wrong.
Your clutch sounds normal.

Does anyone make a quadrant kit for these things so you can shorten the throw of the clutch pedal. There is a kit for Cobras that does this and basically makes the throw about half of what it is stock, much more fun to rip through the gears.
