Is the stock clutch cable on my 97 cobra adjustable. I recently bought the car so I dont know if it has a aftermarket clutch or a stock 1. I had to do a repair to the valve cover gaskets and had to disconnect the clutch to remove the valve covers. To make a long story short now i am trying to reconnect the clutch cable to the tranny and I dont have enough slack. It looks like I need about a half inch or so or more. How do i adjust this or is it even adjustable? Sorry Im a newbie, my last stang was an auto.

Whats going on man? If your trying to put the clutch cable back you need someone to hit the clutch down in the car. That is how me and my buddy did it.

You can adjust it when its hooked up. Hit the clutch down all the way, put your foot behind the clutch and lift it up. Do that a few times and it will adjust itself. If you put your head under there you'll see the tool that adjusts the clutch.
