this thread got me so nervous when i first read it.. i thought you were reffering to the firewall adjuster or something when i read the title.. but than i go to the "clutch cable" part and let out a sigh of relief (bc i have the UPR quadrant/firewall adjuster waiting to be installed when weather is warmer)...

this is just another case where an aftermarket adjustable clutch cable has failed... it sucks =/

I just bought a vacuum block from them. After I bought it I realized UPR is selling them on ebay for $30 less so I am kinda pissed about that. If anything they should sell them for less on their site

my local dealer tried to sell me a stock cable for 120. he said, "i know your in here a lot so i can cut you a deal for 120." thank you ford! i bargained him down to 95.

i had the steeda cable on my near stock 94 GT and it broke on me within 9 months.

aftermarket cables just suck. regardless of power level.

The power level has nothing to do with it. It's the clutch pressure and how you have it set up. After I put in the Spec stg 3 I went to a junk yard and picked up a spare (cuz I thought mine might have been stretched) for $30. Never had to use it.
