If so, what brand quadrant and firewall adjuster are you using? I am planning on replacing mine but keep the stock cable. How's steeda? Is this "double Hook" really necessary? Thanks

Chirag and I both use the Forte' quadrant and adjuster w/ a stock replacement cable. Mine works fine.

Did it look like this? I have heard that the Fortes quadrants had 2 different shapes depending on when they came out.

Cool, thanks guys!

I agree with the gr40 about the BBK. I had one in my 87GT and it was a PITA to jack up the car everytime I wanted to adjust the cable.
