Clutch cables

[94fordmustanggt]

Ok well I searched around on here and found that most recommended the MM cables. I don't want to but right now I'm too busy ! So- right now on my 94 I have an unknown brand triple quadrant and firewall adjuster. I have been buying Ford OEM heavy duty cables. They last between 6 months to a year. Last time it broke I had time to mess with it- pulled out the quadrant and found that it wasn't installed properly and didn't line up with the cable. I modified the quadrant and moved it to where it should be so the cable went straight into the firewall, since it looked like it was scraping the side of the quadrant by not being aligned properly causing it to break after a while. BTW- the cables always break within 1 inch of where they hook to the quadrant. Thought I had fixed all my problems until today, when I pushed in the clutch and felt the cables breaking. I'm only holding on my a strand! I'm tired of putting in clutch cables, since this is the 4th or 5th one, and desperately want to fix it for good. Should I go for just the MM cable or buy the whole setup again- quadrant, firewall adjuster, and cable? Thanks.

I'd get rid of your existing quadrant. There's a reason I run single hooks. It sounds like your quad is causing the failures, not the cables per se (I've used the Ford adjustable HD cable in the past and loved it).

If you wanna get the MM cable, the MM quads are decent.

Good luck.

from talking with many mustangers and tons of reading #1 always stay with oem cables, they seem to hold up best over aftermarket in mustangs. also I'm with hissin, stay with a single a hook! I also run the maximum setup and love it, installs nice and the make an oem cable pre-trimmed to work with fwa, they sell a packaged deal now for short money and worth every penny. best of luck.

I'd also say just bite the bullet and buy the entire MM kit. I have it, and have no regrets.
