Angry Clutch Quadrant?? PLEASE help!

For more info please also see my post on Tremec not shifting well. I seem to be having a problem that is only getting worse. The tranny doesn't want to go into gear without a fight. When its in gear, the car rusn great, its just a matter of getting in gear. When the car is off, the tranny is as smooth as a knife in butter, but as soon as the car is on, its hard as a rock. I have to litteraly put the clutch in as far as I can to get a half way decent shift. When sitting at a light, with my foot off the brake and the clutch in, it feels like its engaging itself. Could my clutch quadrant be going bad? Maybe the cable is stretched out after all these years? I really don't like driving the car like this, but I have to get to and from work. The tranny is just over a year old with about 25,000 miles on it, the clutch is about 6-8 months old with about 10,000 miles on it, and the shifter is about 2 months old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it is the cable or think it may be the cable, then I can call Steeda and see about getting one if you guys think it will help. Sorry this is so long.
