What is it with black foxes and grinding 3rd gear? .

Mine is grinding in third as well. I put in a new clutch cable and a new King Cobra ... still grinding. I'm thinking either the clutch wasn't put in properly or something. I'm also thinking of changing it to a Spec clutch. But then I'd hate to change that and it's still grinding. I like the KC Clutch btw.

Not mine. In fact it's softer than other mustang clutches that's I've drove.

I like my King Cobra so far.....less stiff than the stock one, and I bang my gears daily
