Well I tried to pull my stang out of storage yesterday, I backed it out and pushed the clutch in, to shift it into first and bang! My clutch cable snapped.

Whats the best clutch cable to buy?

Most of the members and Myself would say an oem cable is the best in a stang, all the aftermarket cables don't seem to hold up. maximum motorsports sells oem cables. they also have one of the best quads in my opinion. they sell a nice kit with a quad, fwa and oem cable, but to answer your ? I would go oem cable .

I would go with an OEM cable. Adjustables are a pain, who wants to mess with that.

I have had many 5spd stangs and I always went stock cable, stock quadrant, no firewall adjuster. I have never missed not having any of those tricks.

I looked at the maximum motor sports one, and thought about it but I wasn't sure, but now I am. My car already has a aluminum quadrant so I'm going to get their fwa and cable.

Thanks
Todd

Don't use anything but OEM cables, I went through two BBK cables which were total crap before I got the right one from Maximum.

My clutch cable and FWA should be here friday

I also have to say Maximum Motorsports has awesome customer service.

I places my order Sunday night online, and their websites says it will ship out the that day if its placed by noon, so its was suppose to be shipped yesterday, but when I called today it hadn't been shipped yet, so they said they would send it express so it would get to me in the same time that it would have took if they were to ship it yesterday.
