[Shotimes] clutch pedal issues

[Bill Murray]

I am having something similar after having my cable break a few weeks
ago and replacing it with a used one.  The engagement is right at the
top and when going in reverse there is a lot of clutch chatter,
requiring high revs and next to no slipping.  I'm not sure if I
installed the cable correctly but it seemed to be the only way to
actually install it.  I've messed with the adjuster a little bit, but it
didn't seem to help.  FWIW, my clutch has about 20k on it.  I'm
interested to hear if the pedals should be at the same level, as I don't
recall either.

I think my car has fallen victim to some "spirited driving"
that I did last week.  The end result is that I believe I
need a new clutch cable.  Pedal release has gone from
right off the floor to the top portion of pedal travel.  I
think I may have stretched the cable or something.  Or it
could have been that way before and I made it worse.

Anyways, in addition to the cable, when the pedal is at
rest it sticks up further from the floor than the brake
pedal.  I don't recall it doing that before.  Anybody seen
this before?  Is there some kind of stop that may have
broke off or something?

I just had a new clutch installed a few months ago, BTW.
