I've actually got some credit with 5.0 Resto just sitting there, waiting to be spent on something. I see that they sell UPR firewall adjusters for ~$40. Any opinions on that?
I know it man! That thing is going to go fast once I get a handle on things... And learn to drive. It was so frustrating, because it seemed like I'd start to gain on the other car, miss a gear, fumble around, loose ground, finally get it into gear, gain on the other car again, miss a gear, fumble, 4th gear and done. Except that last GTO that ran 11s. I had nothing on him, haha.
I've got a set of junk 16" wheels in my garage that I was contemplating tossing a set of sticky tires on for the track, but I think I'd rather hold out and get a set of lightweight 15" wheels for all 4 corners. Those Mach 1 wheels look cool, but I think they were 26 or 27 lbs a piece. They're retarded.
Thanks for coming out to the track man. Get that Mitsu running!
anytime dude! if your gonna get a fwa, get the steeda or the promotion, and throw that pos adjustable cable in the trash.
So, if I get a non-adjustable stock replacement cable, does it need to be an OEM Ford cable, or can it be just whatever brand cable Auto Zone sells?
Auto Zone cable linky.
The only reason I'd want to go through Auto Zone is because I have one of their rewards cards and I use it all the damn time. Make 5 purchases of $20 and they just give you $20 store credit on the 6th purchase. It's a sweet deal.
If not, I can try calling one of the local Ford dealers and talk to their parts department.

WOW. I just called the local Ford dealer and they want $205 for one.
At some point, someone has to just admit to stealing money from customers. Charging 200+ for a freaking cable is stealership mentality at its best.
Anyway, he gave me the part number. E4ZZ7K553A
LRS sells what they are calling an "OEM Ford Cable" for $40. The LRS part number is LRS-7553DR. Not sure if the 7553 shows any significance there. Thoughts? Like I said, I have credit with LRS that I'd like to use up.

Is the FRPP quadrant junk? I don't want to piss away money on replacing something that isn't broke knowwhaddI'msaying?
Alright, I just got off the horn with LRS. I went with the UPR firewall adjuster and an OEM STYLE cable. Apparently, the OEM Ford cables are discontinued, but they offer a Dorman replacement that uses the same design as the Ford unit, which is what I bought. The guy I talked to has an 89 with the same clutch as mine (Ram HDX) and runs this Doorman cable, and according to him, the clutch feel is "awesome".
So, I guess we'll see.
