[Racinjason81]

you should adjust the cable on the bottom if you installed an aftermarket
cable or on top if you have a firewall adjuster

[firefly1241]

on top on the fire wall is that the little white plastic piece toward the back of the firewall on the driver side if so can you take a picture so i have a better idea and a lil description on how to adjust it if possible please it would be a big help thank you

Another thing that might help ya is that my King Cobra clutch was really stiff and having trouble going rough into reverse and first for about 50 miles. You know those clutches have a recommended break-in perion of 500 miles....mine stunk whenever I got on her even slightly for awhile after I installed it up till about 250 of those 500 miles!

[firefly1241]

so what would be a good idea fully extend the clutch cable then run it for a few hundred mile and see if there is any difference ??? or what i really want my pony back been without it for almost 2 months now lol

ok we tore the tranny out again last night and thought about putting a spacer under neith the ball in the bellhousing to make it a little higher and when we did now the gears grind real bad.

also when we had the clutch in the first time i had to rev match to get the clutch to engage into first and second but if i shut off the car it slid right in this is getting really annoying and tedious fast also the clutch cable is fully extended supposedly the oppening where the the arm comes out of the bell housing is to small because we think its not getting the clearance to disengage the clutch lemme know what you guys think i want my car to drive to prom or i got to drive the gf's truck and its not the sharpest thing

[mustangman9550]

Don't know about the whole spacer thing, SN95's have longer imput shafts to the tranny so I prolly wouldn't have the same issues as your Fox.....I'd try it without the spacer if I was you.

another thing you might try is getting a diffrent clutch. i had nothing but problems with my king cobra. it was by far a huge piece of shit. my stock one worked better.

[HACKGT350]

your first problem was getting a kc clutch i have heard nothing but bad things about it. i have a centerforce and its amazing and its not very stiff either graps 90% better over stock replacement

[Smoph]

im driving with a stage 2 cobra clutch in mine and its awesome grabs nice on every shift in every gear so i suppose it just depends on your setup though

[95opal]

Sounds more like the syncros in your tranny are on the way out. The KC is fine Ive used it many times over the last 17years with no problems. It does have a stiffer pedal feel than most other clutches.

[HACKGT350]

it really isnt the clutch it self that makes it a heavy peddle its the pressure plate isnt it?

[firefly1241]

ok cant be the synchros in the tranny because we took off the after market pressure plate with the stock one because it was in good condition still and all the gears work great any other ideas why the CC dosent work ???
