82 Mustang GT Problem

[Megaman_js]

Okay my clutch cable just broke yesterday and I need to know what needs to be done to change it. It has a 4 speed SROD and looks way different from a T5. I dont even know were to begin. It almost looks like I have to pull the tranny to get it out. Am i correct in this or is there another way?

The tranny itself looks different , the bellhousing is different but I believe the clutch arm and TOB set-up is exactly the same as a T-5 .

Reach up under the dash and remove the cable from the quadrant , unbolt the clutch cable bracket from the drivers side fender then remove the cable from the firewall .

Take off the dust cover from the tranny and you will see where the cable connects to the clutch arm . just remove it and install is reverse .

I would suggest an aftermarket quadrant , firewall adjuster and adjustable cable .


Or a stocker will get ya by in a pinch .

Check this pic put , the cable is not connected to the clutch arm here but you get the idea

don't get an adjustable clutch cable and a firewall adjuster. That makes seting up the clutch a pain in the butt. Get a oem clutch cable and a firewall adjuster or an adjustable cable. the clutch quadrent upgrade is very nice because the clutch won't be as hard to push to the floor.
