have u checked the clutch cable to see if it is intact? Should be easy tho if it snapped u would just have a limp pedal. Ive had it happen twice before.

But i would say go centerforce depending on what u plan to do for the future. They are feather light. Feel great to drive with plenty of holding power. But yes if you plan to stay semi stock (just bolt on's) it would be a bit extremem to drop the 350 on one

Everyone ive ever talked to has told me the OEM cable is the best. They all said that they are much stronger then any of the aftermarket counterparts.

So you might want to look into going to ford and getting a cable. And just order the quadrant and firewall adjuster.
