Yea thanks. The cable is already loose and it grabs way to high.

It may be the fork. I'll see if I can notice anything when I look tomorrow. I didn't ride it on this clutch, but on the old one as it was going bad it was having trouble grabbing. So that may have messed up the fork.

oh sry must have missed that. but if it has been slipping like that for a while it is just ruining the clutch so it still could need replacement anyway.

and OP firewall adjusters are much easier to use. i suggest buying one

86 5.0L

another thing might have happened was the wrong hook was used, one is for stock cables and one is for adjustable, while the third(on some) is just for getting around a patent and should not be used

I have the cable hook on the quadrant at the position closest to the firewall so for the most slack.

it should be on the second.

Wouldn't that just make the cable tighter and worsen my problem? Unless I'm missing something.

dunno???^^^^^^ but there shouldn't be much slack in the cable just a little free play 1/8 inch down on the fork where cable connects

84conversion is right. It shouldn't have that much slack in it. 1st hook, second hook it really doesn't matter. Firewall adjuster, quadrant etc. If a clutch is slipping due to improper adjustment. It's too tight. Your's is not too tight so lets move on.

Either the disc is toast, probably. Or the diaphram is broken, maybe. Throwout bearing is seized to the input shaft/sleeve due to lack of lube or a wear groove, but I doubt that one. I say yank it out and have a look.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess it's time to drop the tranny and do work.
