SO my clutch went out replaced it with a clutch and new flywheel... drove around for 2 hours clutch cable snapped. this morning put another one in,, WTF do you konw 2 hours later it snapped again!! this is starting to become a major pain in the ass.. what could be causing it to snap over and over again, i had no issues with it snapping after i bought the car not 2 cables in 2 days...

another thing i had started a thread earlier saying it would be boggy under full throttle so i did a tune up.. oil/ford plugs/msd wires/ msd distributor etc .. car still bogs under full throttle but drives semi decent at half throttle..

fucking car is starting to really get on my last nerve

any help or input or wise words greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Did your clutch feel stiff even after putting the new cable in? Where did the cables snap at?

cable kept snapping at firewall of the car.. under the hood.

originally i changed it because the org was snapped under the car.. after i put it in originally it felt stiff but started getting mushier by the second..

so what i did now was i bought the ford racing adjustable clutch cable lever with the quadrant.

hoping for the best now.
