I've got a 90' gt with a 5 speed. I went through 2 adjustable clutch cables after a few months, bbk i think (they are crap). Then I bought the ford cable from ddperformance for $29. Its supposed to be the stock ford one and that one just broke today. I've got a upr triple hook quadrant and firewall adjuster too. What could be the problem. It broke at the quadrant end right where the metal collar is. Should i go to the ford dealership and buy their expensive cable which is supposed to be the same one the ddperformance sells? Any help would be appreciated.

I'd go to Ford and get a stock OEM Ford cable, with the UPR triple hook and firewall you have the best set-up. It will last forever...

All the aftermarket adj cablkes are junk, they stretch, don't take heat well etc...

the one from ddperformance is a ford non-adjustable cable, that is the one that broke on me today. It says ford on it. Is it any different from the ones at the dealership?
