Default Car Wouln't Go into gear: New BBK quadrent?

I searched around the board a little and couldn't find any help.


I recently had installed a centerforce stage two and a BBK Adjustable
Clutch Cable Kit. About 400 or 500 miles later i got on it for the first time and had a perfect launch with mynew tires. When i tried to throw it into second it felt like the synco failed and wouln't go into 2nd. Now after that launch it is really hard to put in gear and drive your have to shift at optimum RPM's from gear to gear or it will not go in or if you force it, it will grind. I think it might have to do somthing with the cable adjustment and the launch with the new tires.

Does anybody know how to adjust a BBK or Steeda (same thing) clutch cable?

Preety sure that is the reason i am going to go from there with it but anywayz if anybody else has opinions or similar problems i am open for suggestions.

Thankyou for your time guys,

Josh from Maryland

Get rid of the adjustable clutch cable

Put in a firewall adjuster with the STOCK clutch cable

Adjust your clutch cable and all should be well.

+1 on the adjuster and stock cable, also get rid of the light blue text--it's damned near impossible to read...

i cant put the stock cable back in because the mechanic threw it away when i asked for it back. i tightened the cable and it is better than it was before.

If there was nothing wrong with it then he cost you money. I for the life of me see people get treated this way on this board and it amazes me. I would have had that dude for lunch if that happened to me.

Back to your issue. The problem will returm. All aftermarket cables are junk.
