ok so i had a post the other day about my clutch chattering. Idk if i mentioned that the car is extremely difficult to shift. Reverse is a pain to get into unless the car is shut off and then put into. a friend of mine who is a very good mechanic told me to check the clutch cable and that the clutch itself may still be good. I have a clutch already but its still in the box. what do you all think? thanks guys

Did you try adjusting the clutch?

stupidaso06

he said to just replace it... the one thats in there is the facotry one. he also said that that cable is self adjusting.

HYE

i had the same problem on my last car
to shift into reverse i had to come to a dead stop
put the car in neutral and then shift into first (dont let go of the clutch )then shift into reverse

i dono if that might help maybe might

Sounds like your clutch is not disengaging.

When you take off, how high is your clutch pedal when it engages?

Sooo did you try adjusting the clutch.

my clutch is engaging and disengaging almost at the floor and no i havnt. he told me it most likely is just worn out and thats why its happening

Sounds like the cultch is out of adjustment. Try letting the clutch pedal out and pull on the pedal itself with your hand, it should click, sometimes this will adj. it. if the stock plastic quadrand is completly warn out, you may want to get a new aluminumquadrant with adj. cable from summit or jegs. All most all mustangs do that sooner or later.
