Speed release or Triple hook???
which is better the speed release from UPR or the UPR Triple hook and does it completely eliminate the plastic gearing that holds the cable and if so how does the aftermarket one grip the clutch cable with no teeth wouldnt it slip?

RE: Speed release or Triple hook???
The "teeth" have nothing to do with holding the cable, they are entirely related to the ratcheted adjustment mechanism. All of the plastic stuff (including the OEM adjuster) is removed and the new quadrant is mounted to both fixed pins on the pedal--the OEM quadrant pin and the ratchet pin. The "hooks", one on the speed release and 3 on the triple-hook, hold the cable end.[/align][/align]The UPR speed release quadrant requires an adjustable cable and optionally a firewall adjuster, the triple-hook quadrant requires a firewall adjuster (I have the 3-hook and UPRs Quick-click adjuster), and will work with the OEM cable. I have read a number of tales of aftermarket clutch cables being of lesser quality, don't know if this is true however my car is my DD and I don't need that sort of problem cropping up 200 miles from home.[/align]

I happen to have both. I use a UPR speed release with a stock cable. Much better for shifting at the track but the triple is nicer for the street. [8D]

I have the Steeda quick release on my old GT with the stock cable. I am not sure whether the steeda and UPR are the same though.

A bud has a UPR and say's it rattles! I have a quick release from Steeda getting readyto put on and was told I need to use a firewall adjuster also. Is this true?
