Hey boys. Recently had my old clutch cable go out on me and I need a replacement. I have the Steeda quadrant and firewall adjuster. It seems the old cable was rubbing on my long tubes, it wasn't the reason it failed, but when I get a new one I'd like to avoid that.

Any advice? I've heard Maximum Motorsports sells an OEM quality cable. Will that work with my firewall adjustor and quadrant? Are there any ways to avoid the header issue?

Thanks ahead of time.

i have an mm cable with the steeda quad and fwa, works like a champ. the mm cable is basically an sn95 cable (longer than a fox so you can get better routing) already modified for use with a firewall adjuster.

Sweet deal. Do you run long tubes by any chance?

shorties, but the cable routes way above and in front of them before looping back (i had problems with a steeda cable wanting to melt on the #5 primary, the mm does not do this), i would have no fear of running lt's with this setup.

Sweet deal, sounds like I'll go for the MM cable then. Thanks for the help man.
