You can try a cable for the 01-04 GT's I believe they are longer.

Aftermarket new cable or stock new cable. I would run the stock cable with the adjuster, but that is me.

I think he has a stock cable but it's too short. There are 2 different length cable that are on Stangs. The longer ones are on the later 01-04 stangs. One of those should work just fine for you. I recently installed a new clutch & flywheel. At the same time, I put in a Steeda quadrant & cable adjuster with a brand new stock cable for my '02GT. Everything fit perfectly and is working great.

Yea, you have to cut some stuff off of the stock cable for it to work properly. Glad you got it goin'.
