Not able to put my car in gear


Ok here's a little history of my car, I just recently put a clutch(RAM HDX Clutch (86-Mid 01 Mustang GT and 93-98 Cobra) 88794HD - Free Shipping!) in it about 1500 miles ago, reused the old clutch cable, and then recently supercharged it about 500 miles ago. Story is, that i was driving home from the local grocery store in october and on my way home my clutch petal was getting looser and looser and then by the time i was home i had no clutch (2 miles), I thought simply it was just the cable being loose, well today i worked on it and tightened the clutch cable down pretty far and the clutch adjuster is unscrewed pretty far and my car still wont go into gear. Could it be my clutch? or do think the cable might have been stretched out? because i had it tightend almost all the way on the clutch fork and still not going into gear.

Here's another thing that looks interesting

If you pull on the black clutch cord in that pic is there any slack in it? if its tight id think something is wrong internally im sure someone will be able to suggest what has happened! goodluck

Several strands of the inner cable have broken and allowing the remaining strands to untwist--when that happens they gets longer. You have taken up a bunch if that slack causing the outer cable housing to buckle.

You need a new cable...
