Oh man smooth like butter, like a new ride, pretty stoked!! My old cable had a rub spot from the K-member and it split from the plactic c-clip part from it binding i guess. I'll post a couple pics soon.

You may want to wrap a piece of fuel line hose around the new cable in the same position as where the old one rubbed.

used a rubber band on the quadrant to hold the cable, made life real easy that way.

It actually was a little longer cable but it was the frpp part, kinda weird but im not complaining cause it's way more roomy and loose.

I posted earlier that I have the UPR firewall adjuster. What I bought was a UPR "Firewall adjuster, billet quadrant, cable assembly" package they offer.
All I needed was the adjuster and quadrant.

If any of you need a free cable you can have this one if you want.

Just cover the shipping bill and I'll send it to you.

Nice offer. If it were me I'd hang on to it. Never know when you might need another

No, I'll never use it. I only use one type of clutch cable. OEM '99-04 v8/GT cable. Absolutely the smoothest clutch cable on the planet.
