Just get a stock replacement from what ive heard. The aftermarkets arent that sturdy from what ive read and people have some problems with them. So id just get a stock replacement clutch cable and an aftermarket quadrant and maybe a firewall adjuster. I think that might be the only things that id change. And did you leave the clutch from the 04gt on there or did you get a new clutch??? Because i think that the t45's need a 10.5" clutch and the t3650's need an 11" clutch. That might be part of your problem as well. So i'd check into that as well. Good luck my friend.

I didn't leave the 04gt clutch.
And your right. I'll get a stock cable with aftermarket quadrant. As far as the FA, idk.

so the trans guy said he needs to bring the trans down to check it out. DAMN! more $!
My mechanic, who did the swap, said he'll pay for whatever me may hve done wrong which was a relief. Maybe he didn't do something right with putting the clutch on. We'll see what this guy has to say tomorrow. I hope its nothing major because I'm getting close to passing my budget's limit.

trans guy said it has to be a clutch problem. I told em about the cable and quad, and he said that it can't be the cable because is the cable was streched(not his exact words), there wouldn't be any clutch what so ever. There is some resistance on the clutch, but hardly any. Anyways, this guy better hurry because I'm getting tired of waiting! haha
Im starting to think that I bought the wrong clutch.
I bought this one:

I was told, by someone in the forum, to buy a clutch for my t-45- not the t3650, and toss the 04gt clutch. If that's the problem I hope this guy figures it out quick, but he doesn't specialize in Mustangs.

as for the clutch being the right one, im not really 100% positive.
i would highly suggest learning a few things about your car and how they work. you will have a much easier time dealing with mechanics. you will describe problems better and interpret what the mechanic is saying easier.
