Once you've taken the clutch cable loose from the transmission fork, the tab on the strut tower, and under the hood on the firewall, it'll practically fall off if you give it some slack. PS- taking the driver's seat out helps alot. Not needed if your just changing the cable, but if your doing the quadrant too then it'll be alot easier.

I usually put a screwdriver between the pedal and the floor of the car to keep it released while I'm working on the clutch. __________________ 88 Mustang Coupe 2006 FFW Richmond True Street Runner-Up www.rickscarcare.net http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2158/ricksadql2.jpg
