Hey Everyone,
I have an 88 5.0 and Just changed out the clutch and all the related parts. I've not had the car long and it had a new UPR quadrant, FWA and cable all ready installed.
It's shifting real hard. Hard to get into gear when driving. I've searched and found possible answers as to why. I'll try adjusting the FWA some more tomorrow. right now it's adjusted so it's engaging when the pedal is about and inch or so off the floor. It doesn't seem like the clutch is dragging but I'm assuming you wouldn't always feel it if you were sitting at idle?
Reading all the post's during the search, alot of folks recommend only an original ford cable because the aftermarket ones are junk. My FWA is adjusted now so there is like 2 inches of room between the base and the nut. (normal?)
Anyway, my question is, the universal cable from Maximum Motorsports warns that you should buy theirs because it wont fit many other FWA's. Is there anyone using it with the UPR adjuster? I'd rather spend just the 60 bucks for a good cable since the quad and adjuster are all ready there.
Sorry for the newby question but I've been away from the hobby for awhile and I'm hoping this is an adjustment problem and not a need for a rebuild or replace.
Thanks for all the help......
Jeff
