clutch cable

it's pretty easy to do. if you still have the stock quadrant, which is a semicircular shaped piece behind the clutch pedal, now is a good time to get it replaced. if it's plastic, replace it for a metal
one. I would recommend getting the maximum motorsports package with the clutch cable, firewall adjuster and quadrant. their cable is designed to be durable and adjustable from the firewall adjuster rather than the cable itself which is better. installing a quadrant is probably the hardest part, but if you just want to install the cable all it takes is just unhooking it and rebooking a new one.

here's the one I was talking about. if indeed you still have the stock stuff, you should get this for a big improvement.

Yeah that's the one I use. It's not adjustable at the firewall, you need to crawl under the car for the adjustment. But, I adjusted it once when I installed it, and I've had no reason to touch it since.

My choice for clutch & quadrant for street use:
Ford Racing M-7560-A302N - Ford Racing Clutch Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com Ford Racing M-7560-A302N king cobra clutch kit $215
Ford Racing M-6375-B302 - Ford Racing Flywheels - Overview - SummitRacing.com flywheel, cast iron $92

The quadrant needs to be replaced if you use any type of aftermarket cable or adjuster. My preference is a Ford Racing quadrant, adjustable cable and Steeda firewall adjuster. The adjustable Ford Racing cable is just a good as the stock OEM cable. It allows a greater range of adjustment than a stock cable with a aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster. Combined with the Steeda adjuster, it lets you set the initial cable preload and then fine tune the clutch engagement point to your liking without getting under the car.

Using a stock OEM cable and a single hook quadrant may result in not having any free pedal travel before the clutch starts to disengage. I found this out the hard way.
