clutch stuff

[Intmdtr]

if i buy a new clutch quadrant, do i need a new adjustable cable aswell? i have never installed this item before, so i am just wondering if i should go for the whole thing quad/cable/fw adjuster.....

I would go for the whole thing brian. You can go back with a stock version of the cable, but you really don't have any adjustability other then what the quadrant will allow.

thats what i thought....thanks doug, going to order up the steeda kit from AM, i have ran out of pedal and don't think my clutch is bad, it still grabs hard, just need some adjustability, i think my quadrant has taken a dump already.....

I have a steeda kit in the twinturbo car and it was worth the investment. Was a little spendy, but you can fine tune your clutch with thier set up.

your cable may have stretched out

I myself dont like the adj cables, they seem to fray and break faster then the OEM fords ones do.

I use the alum quad, firewall adjuster, and stock cable. The firewall adjuster is the shit !! you dont have to climb under the car to adjust it and it makes it so adj cable is not needed.

I too am having the same problem, that will probably be my next investment is the steeda setup from AM muscle. Keep us updated on how easy/hard it is to install and how you like it

I would agree,when i can afford to get my new clutch ,i will be doing the whole fire wall adjuster thing as well.

If you do get an adjustable cable get a quality American one.(Steeda, and Zoom are. Probably McLeod)

The main benefit to an adjustable cable IMHO is you don't need to run a firewall adjustor with one. Once you get it set right you won't have to fool with it again. Defanently use a quality quadrant though. People have actually pulled the firewall adjustors through the firewall overtightening them down when adjusting them. If you don't have to use a firewall adjustor its better not to.


I run a Zoom adjustable cable. Here's one with their quadrant. This quadrant is bigger than most other aftermarket quadrants and its intended not to be used with a firewall adjustor.
