I'm replacing my stock clutch cable since I'm replacing my Clutch as well. Anyone have experience with the summit brand cables??
I'm debating on which brand to go with. I'm going to get an adjustable one or should i stick with a stock one? It's for a 95 cobra btw.

griggs racing did a lot of testing on clutch cables of all brands, and found the stock ford one is the strongest of all. if u get griggs and some elses quadrent that sticks on the pedals, all you need then is a fire wall adjuster, all problems solved, but to answer your question the summit brand is like the payless shoe source brand.cheap and falls apart.

+1 summit is a very cheap and thin cable put them side by side and see the difference

unless there's something wrong with your stock cable, reuse it!

true. If it ain't broke don't fix it right? Still up in the air I'd figure I'd replace it since I'm already that far.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.
