Clutch Problem

laztug · October 22nd, 2008, 07:14 PM

What up people, I bought a King cobra clutch about a year ago, it worked fine untill i got it a new clutch cable and quadrant off UPR. After I put that in the clutch got REAL stiff and snapped the cable. SO i bought it a new Clucth cable/quadrant/and firewall adjuster off BBK......It worked fine but was still a little stiff, and now cable is on its way to snapping.

I am tired of this $@#& I was thinking about going with the Centerforce Dual Friction but I have no idea what cable to go with. What is the best cable out there? I do not want to have to go through this again.

LMK what you all think about the Dual Friction any idea how much hp the clutch will hold?

make sure you have the cable on the right hook on your quadrant. there shouldn't be an issue

i have a king cobra clutch with a steeda cable.....i have a quadrant too but i havent installed it.....the only problem i have is the cable keeps gettin loose

From what I hear, the OEM Ford cable is as strong as it gets.

I'm running a UPR quadrant, King Cobra clutch and a factory cable and haven't had any issues. It's been in the car now for three or four summers...

make sure the cable is routed right..and the centerforce DF is a good clutch from wat ive heard i personally havent used the clutch..but i know one somone who has it with a 331,that has a turbo pushing a good amount of power ..im not sure on the exact numbers it holds tho.
