Default Clutch Cable Problem

I have a 2001 GT with a 99 cobra motor with a spec stage 2 clutch and aluminum flywheel... now when i first swaped the motor i had the original clutch cable installed but eventually changed it for a steeda because the clutch pedal would get stuck as if the cable was binding so i figured that was the problem..well after the new cable the samething still happend until eventually it got to the point were the cable would get stuck to high and i wasnt able to shift..so as i was driving and got mad since i wasnt able to get it into gear i pressed it really hard and it like popped and i lost all my pedal effort... so i towed it home and checked it and was able to get my pedal feel back and now i am able to shift into 1 thru 5th gear with some effort but cant shift into reverse...now do u think its just the cable or the transmission syncros got jacked up? it has the T45 trans any advise would be appreciated thanks

Its weird, right after i did my clutch the same thing started happening to me. I just have to constantly adjust my clutch. Its a pain in the @$$ but it just what I have to do!

similar situation with me. blew my first clutch then got a new one ram clutch or something like that...HORRIBLE, tension is way high, went through 2 cluch cables (steeda cables suck, the ford ones are much better)...now I sometimes can't shift into reverse, I have to pump the clutch once or twice and shift into another gear, then it will go into reverse...
