oh nice. was that the original factory cable? what kind of clutch do you have? i'm surprised it lasted that long.

Ram clutch I put that in along with a new TKO the cable looked good so I just used it.

Was it a FORD cable, or an aftermarket OEM-fit cable? Non-adjustible is the way to go, but ONLY with an actual Ford cable - the aftermarket ones (such as by Pioneer) are visibly made less sturdy. I've already snapped one of those in my notch and wound up putting the old factory cable with like 200k+ miles on it back in ... which, surprisingly, even feels smoother, and has never given me a problem.

It was the original factory cable got a new from ford non-adjustibble.

you might try a maximum motorsports cable. i got one and its by far the BEST made clutch cable you can get.

i have went through many cables. i got a frpp adjustable to work for a year so or before it broke

that's bad news for me. on the flip side, if i make it last a year as well, it'll be the longest a cable has ever lasted for me!
