Make sure you are installing it and adjusting it properly. There should be no kinks, pinches, twists or tight bends in the cable, and the clutch should start to catch when the pedal is something like 2 inches from the floor. If the clutch pedal has a gummy feeling, you've likely got it pinched somewhere. I can't imagine why else your cable would be snapping. I'd say try a different brand and be careful on the install.

Ford oem non adjustable or at the very least ford oem adjustable..oem ford only all the others break, period. If you want a really good set up get a maximum motorsports quad, ford oem non adjustable from them and iether their FWA or maybe a upr one and walk away and you won't have to worry about snapped crap cables again, I run the mms set up and love it. That's my advice.

Did you lube the cable before installing it? Might make a big difference.

The cable housing is lined with some sort of lining that "lubes" the cable.

This might be true, but throwing some in there wont hurt. My cable is real tight as well, and I plan to lube it up when the car gets tossed in storage.
