you don't still have the stock plastic quadrant do you ? ditch it

the bbk adjustable is fine, adjusts at a locknut under the passenger door area, rigth where it goes through the fork. no bid deal to do it that way. i have never used a firewall adjuster

the same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. my steeda adjustable cable snapped on me. since my tranny is already grinding i just power shifted it home. that cable only lasted about 2 years. grabbed a non adjustable Ford cable and its never been better
