clutch cable help

sniperrider · March 4th, 2008, 05:42 PM

i snaped my cable last night and put a new one in.....but when i try to push the pedal down to get the click it clicks before it gets to the bottom. i still have the stock plastic gear things in there but need it to work..they are still good but the cable acts like its to short.....what can i do to get this thing in?

sniperrider · March 4th, 2008, 06:08 PM

Are you running an aftermarket cable? If so, try a ford oem one. I went through 3 aftermaket cables splitting a couple years back.

If it splits on you, try a ford one.

I purchase a upr firewall adjuster and triple hook quadrant and adj cable. cable ended up breaking and replaced with a stock cable. you have to take the firewall part off the stock cable but it works. also use a small amount of oil or antiseize on the cable and it will help keep it from binding and breaking.

dont you have to pull the petal to you to get it to adjust? i had the sam deal i fixed mine b&m adjusable on the firewall cable much better my clutch was to strong and kept striping the plastic shit it doesnt take much for them not to work

Take your refurbished and cleaned cable back to autozone, spend the extra money and get a new BBK clutch waud and cable so you can desinate your issue. Not talking smack, I used to work for Autozone
