Ok I changed my clutch cable today everything was working well. I made it about 20 miles and was at a stop light. My clutch cable just snapped..the old cable I took off was snapped in the same place near the bell housing. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Do I need to get an adjustable quadrant? Thank you

To be honest I don't know. I just picked the car up not to long ago. It was shifting fine with the exception of 5th at high rpms it was hard to get into 5th before and after I changed the cable. All other gears are fine and there is no slipping. Thank you

Do not buy an adjustable cable, they are all garbage, buy one from Maximum Motorsports a Firewall Adjuster and a Quadrant.

Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

Oh yeah, this isn't my website, so no one has to ask for my permission to change my sig. Hell, not like I pay the CAFORDS bill, so why should they need my permission to put what they want on their site? We're all guests here. Maybe some of us should start acting like guests or leave?

Trunkster is right... any cable besides af OEM Ford cable is garbage compared to the ones you get from Ford. Some times, you have to run the adj. cable depending on your combo, but if your not running some crazy clutch set-up, spend the extra money and buy one Ford cable vs. some other POS that will eventually fail.
Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like the cable is too tight.

I put in a aluminum quadrant and adjustable cable. I figured it's not to hard to crawl up under the car to adjust it if I have to. As of right now it works perfect.
