With the cable linkage the clutch travel is like stepping on a marshmallow, very easy. So the dual friction is easier to push than my old ram clutch with the mech linkage. I drive my car daily also and love it. Actually the cable linkage i have came from mustangsplus or find it faster at ronmorrisperformance.com and has just been discountinued for an easier version. But anyway mine uses an enclosed cable mounted to the firewall and goes to a bolt-on lever on the top of clutch pedal and goes out and down around headers and back under to the bellhousing. None of the mechnical linkage is needed(rod, z-bar, and lever adjuster, don't need a quadrant either). They now have one that doesn't require drilling a hole above your master cylinder but goes through the existing hole, but I can't see how it will work without some kind of mechnical lever. Check them out, my discontinued one is cheaper now. Oh, I use the hurst pro shifter with stops. It works alright and would prefer a pro 5.0 or a tri-ax but my tranny isn't even 6 months old and is already about to take a crap on me (or on the road that is) and really need a tko, but enough about my probs. Good luck
P.S. Nitrogirl I read about your problem on Female Power about people PM you, I can relate, I have gotten some weird ones for mine.
