It looks like my factory one is about the to be garbage soon. The firewall mount just cracked into pieces and now I have it rigged till I buy a new one.
I had a old bbk one and I hated it b/c the firewall adjuster didnt have a screw to keep it from adjusting itself from the vibration of the car. So I would have to readjust it every couple of days.
Anyone have a good one that works for a sn95? thanks.

Most people recommend the stock cable. I use a BBK cable. They usually brake because they get gummed up with crap, not because the cable is that weak. I was able to remove the end of the BBK one (the part of yours that cracked) and put a Steeda adjuster in there. Might be worth the effort if the cable is otherwise still good.

+1 on the factory cable. Best you can get. A good alternative is the Maximum Motorsports cable. Also, their quadrant and firewall adjuster are very nice. Im running them and wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again.

firewall adjuster and a quadrant of whatever brand tickles your fancy but either stock ford or MM cable is the only way to go.

thanks for the replies guys. I saw that there WAS a brand called fiore but it looks like they are out of business :/. I'm gonna keep the oem cable and just buy the quadrant and the firewall adjuster. I like the upr firewall adjuster design. does the click one work well?

UPR is a good company, and that's a pretty good combo deal.

I have had my ford racing clutch cable set up for over 5 years now without any problem. If you do not adjust the cable correctly regardless of aftermarket adjustable or factory OEM clutch cable will snap. Just make sure it's not binding.

I think you can still get the Fiore stuff through Lethal Performance.

Another MM vote if you want a packaged kit.

Fiore is the original makers of the aftermarket clutch quadrants. I run one. My firewall adjuster is a UPR unit. Make sure you get one that attaches to the firewall with more than 1 screw. As for the "double" and "triple" hook designs.....you will never use the extra hooks. They were made that way so as not to infringe on other brands patents
