Default hydraulic clutch

So has anyone come out with a hydraulic clutch kit for the fox cars??? I searched for some old posts to see if anyone has asked before, but they were from awhile ago. I'm just gonna put auto in the car or sell it if i cant get a better setup in there. Any help is appreciated.

its working the way it was designed to, I just think its a poor setup. I have a king cobra clutch, but even with a stock clutch i think its stiff. I've driven lots of other cars I don't like the mustang clutch its hard to push in. When I get stuck in traffic its a nightmare. My friends just think I just like to b*tch about it but i'm just looking to make it more enjoyable to drive. The car has brand new cable + quad.

that is your problem my friend. get a centerforce DF and adjustable clutch quadrant, at least 30-40% soft pedal than stock, its just as easy to drive as my 2005 F-150 and its all hydraulic and its not adjustable, its self adjusting and it sucks! it releases at the top of the travel......absolutely hate it thats why i'm selling it.

changing subjects for a minute, hey fivepointO you have a mallory coil on your car, I've gotten 3 in a row that were no good, I guess you've had good luck with yours I'm ready to try a different brand by now?

if you've gone through three mallory coils either 1) you have really bad luck or 2) something else is wrong

when i take them out of the box the middle section is loosewhere it connects to the metal coils that go around the outside. I think they are getting damaged in shipping or there is some kind of problem with the manufacturing.

did you ever call and ask them about it? or get free ones to replace the ones that were defective? i think as long as your not paying for them its not a problem mine isnt loose but who knows maybe just bad luck
