Default 94 cobra clutch cable quadrant question

I have a 94 cobra with 39,000 orig miles and replaced my factory quadrant with a steeda single hook quadrant and adjustable (at fork) cable . The first cable broke after a couple thousand miles and I replaced that one with BBK adjustable cable (same quadrant) and now this one is getting really stiff with hard pedal. After reading the forums I ordered a Ford m-4553-a302 cable and it is too short, I talked with amp performance who told me 2 things,
1. He said i should have left my stock set up alone because the after market ones all suck for the 94-95 cobra. (figures I tossed it)
2. He told me the 94-95 cobra has a longer shaft than the GT and requires a longer cable. Is this true?

Is there a way to make the m-4553-a302 motorsport cable work without putting the factory quadrant back in?

I just want a trouble free clutch/quadrant cable set up. I wish I had never removed the stock one which was working perfect

the quadrant isnt cobra specific, neither is the cable. Any cable that will work for a 94-95 GT will work for a Cobra.

As for the cable, did you make sure you routed it correctly? Did you lube it before installing it? Where did the last cable break?
