Default Clutch Cable/Shifter Advice

Clutch Cable
I was about to order a new clutch cable and I see that bbk offers a kit that allows adjusting from the firewall. I dont think I would have to adjust the cable often so I am unsure how realistic this would be. Also I could see myself adjusting it too often possibly causing problems. Anyone use a clutch cable like this before?

Shifter
While I was at it I figured it is time to replace my shifter too. Ive only missed shifting from 2nd to 3rd just a few times, but enough to be annoyed with it. When I search topics/threads I see many people use pro 5.0/bbk/mgw. Since I really like the look of the chrome hurst handle with white hurst **** Im thinking about getting either a ford racing shifter kit (new base/hurst handle/white ****) or a hurst handle & bezel kit along with a pro 5.0 or mgw shifter-but I am unsure if that hurst handle will mount to these different shifters. Does anyone know if this you can install this handle on other shifters? Anyone use a setup like this?

As always all comments welcomed. Thanks.

MGW uses a unique shifter design where you cant bolt any other shifter handle to it... MGW or go home

My Hurst shifter has been trouble free for over 12 years.

B&M pro ripper shifter and the ford racing quadrant and cable should suit you fine!
