alright guys i was ridin and went to shift to third wen i heard a loud pop. my clutch pedal moved freely and couldnt get into gears. luckily i wasnt in gear the moment it snapped. now i have a question of how i replace it. i have an aftermarket ford racing clutch so im thinkin thats a little suspect to the reason it snapped. ive heard that this can be common with the Cobra clutches. i kno some of you have replaced a clutch cable. any tips???

 

But a new oe from Ford. You won't be sorry. lil pricey but worth it.

 

What are you using to adjust clutch? Firewall adj? Quad ?

 

I've got the king cobra clutch and I'm soon replacing it with a ceterforce. I've stretched 2 cables and cant keep it in adjustment. It's pretty straight foreward. Since the cable is snaped and has no tension just pull the cable off the clutch fork and then off the quadrant. When installing it's best to have a buddy help you. Have your friend hold the little piece on the end of the cable on the quadrant, then use a prybar to move the clutch fork and put the cable on.

 

if you dont have anybody to help you just put the cable on the quadrant and put a piece of tape on there to hold it and then get down under the car and put the other end on the fork using a pry bar

 

if you're just replacing the cable, its pretty easy.. i got a steeda firewall adj clutch cable and it didnt take me long to put it in.. i had to go from under the car to under the dash a few more times than i wanted but it made a big diff

 

make sure it wasnt the quadrant that broke i thought i snapped my cable till i got her up on a lift and it was the quadrant wouldnt hurt to buy the whole steeda set

 

yea i got the whole kit... those stock plastic quadrants dont last esp with a performance clutch.

 

[sm=insomnia.gif]WTF. Hell I had my mother help me put mine on. "Mom, come here for a second, can you lift on my clutch pedal for me please" two seconds later "thanks mom." All you have to do is pull the pedal.... that releases the cable, that's how you adjust them. After you install a clutch you always lift on the pedal. Hell, I had a friend who went to a mechanic over his 92 4cyl and they said he needed a clutch. I looked at it, lifted the pedal, good as new, didn't need a clutch, just out of adjustment

 

king cobras suck i cant wait to get rid of mine. i have broke 3 clutch cables in the last summer, and the clutch is so stiff my steering column moves when i press the clutch down. its like the whole firewall moves.
