Clutch release cable.

[nrsr21]

I had to replace mine because the last owner somehow let it get dismounted and it went to ****, Well I replaced it with a new one ordered by ford, And I put it in and I have no clutch at all! Car starts and the shifter floats as if the clutch is all the way's to the floor "ALL THE TIME"

Anyone have any tip's on what i might or should do??

Thanks

Did you adjust/tighten the cable?
I think you lift the pedal up, kind of pumping it and the cable will tighten itself...
Someone else chime in here

You just spoke Chinese to me man! I understand the Tightening thing, But I'm not sure on how to do it

Haha, sorry. I'm pretty sure you can pull the pedal up towards the steering wheel, the opposite direction of what your foot does when you engage the clutch pedal. You keep racheting it like this and the cable should adjust itself. I think it clicks similar to a torque wrench when it's adjusted.
