Ummm....do you have a Maximum Motorsport's Clutch Cable? MM sells OEM Ford Clutch Cables, which, yes, are simply the best. But there is not a Maximum Motorsport's Clutch Cable.

99% of the time, I've heard a Ford replacement is the best available.

The one MM sells if OEM Ford. It is modified however for use with their quad and firewall adjuster.

MM or OEM (the same) is definitely the best.

I installed a Steeda cable last year with my clutch replacement and the steeda cable looked identical to the OEM cable... I almost wonder if Steeda didn't start selling the OEM unit like MM does

I picked up this set a while back while swaping out my clutch:

Mustang Clutch Adjuster Kit (96-04) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Easy adjustment is helpful at times.

I had the best luck with the Ford ones. Too many issues with adjustable cables and read too many issues about them too.

Yep. I just said that there are a ton of issues about adjustable cables in the post right above.
