Hey guys
I would like to replace the clutch cable in my 5.0L LX hatch

Now muy question is.........if I purchase this kit, do I have to re-use any of the stock components, or will this kit replace everything?

This kit....http://www.uprproducts.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=181

being a stock replacement cable costs $235 from the dealership, I checked today........is alittle much for a peice of air-craft cable

Thanks guys
Duro

For a cable go to http://www.maximummotorsports.com/cq.asp#cables and get the oem ford universal cable. I believe it will only set you about 60. The cable is longer but it will easily allow for long tubes if you do end up getting those in the future. Read up on it they also sell the 82-93 cable for 120ish too.

Only use the Ford cable. The aftermarket cables suck. The rest of the UPR setup is pretty nice. I have it in my '98 daily driver.

Someone at the Ford dealership is smoking a huge rock of crack. That much for a cable is insane.

MaximumMotorsports sells the same Motorcraft cable as the stealerships. Grab that, and pick up the UPR triple-hook quadrant and Xtreme firewall adjuster combo. It'll replace the crappy factory plastic quad and pawl that are prone to strip out/break/squeak/otherwise make life less happy.

You could re-use your cable without problems, if you're sure it's not very stretched out, doesn't show signs of fraying, and it still moves pretty smoothly. Whether you use the new or old cable, give it a liberal dose of powdered graphite during the install of the other bits to help lube things up a bit. Don't forget to take the rubber grommet off the firewall end of the cable, as the firewall adjuster takes its place.

You'll likely have to use the first (shortest) hook on the quad and crank that adjuster out almost all the way, although if your cable's stretched out a bit, you might be able to hook it on the second with minimal turn-out on the adjuster.

Diversified sells OEM cables for 40 bucks. I just got one - very nice piece.

If using that cable, I personally would NOT use any lubricant on the cable. It is tefon lined and any other additional lubing is unnecessary. Furthermore the cable will now have an affinity for allowing dirt to attach to it..........

If the old cable feels bad enough that it seems to need lubing, I would just get a new one.

If you have LT's, the SN95 cable from MM sounds like the way to go.

Good luck.

I used this OEM cable from ford, from buyfordracing for 40 bucks.

http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=374

I also used a MM quadrant and firewall adjuster

Do not get an adjustable cable, get a stock ford cable, 40bucks is the best price ive seen.

No experience with the MM stuff here.

Jeremy Thompson's article might help:

Good luck.
