New Clutch now what???

[WilwoodFiveO]

Just got my car all back together and running but my tranny barely goes into any gear at all. I know that the problem is my clutch cable due to the fact that I put a King Cobra but my question is what do you all recommend for me to buy to fix the problem. Should I just buy a whole new cable or just a new kit with the adjustable quardrant? I want the easiest fix with out spending a ridiculous amount of money.

The reason I ask this question is because I know there are so many options is this dept. and I want to hear what really works the best for a decent amount of money. Thanks alot.

YOu need to adjust it. If you have stock stuff, try pulling up hard on the clutch pedal and then take it for a spin. The best bet for you is keep the stock cable and get a steeda quadrant since it has multiple hooks and get a firewall adjuster. This will cost you like $60 for the parts.

Tyler, my choice recently was to get a new OEM cable (50 bucks shipped). Dont know if you need one.
I replaced an old school single hook quad with another one - from UPR. Also used a UPR FWA. Both were about 50 bucks shipped.
EDIT: I see you have LT's - an SN95 cable would be better for your application. They cost a little more money. See MM's site for decent SN95 cables.

The Fiore stuff (FWA and quad) looks to be second-to-none but costs a little more. Their FWA looks sweet.

Some guys get ebay special kits (cable, quad and FWA). I dont have exerience with those. I will say that the Ford cables are best (both the adjustable and OEM-non adjustable style worked well for me).

How much do you have to spend (or how much can you allocate)?

Good luck.

Grn 92- Are you saying that my stock cable is ajustable, if so i didn't know this.

Hissin- I can spend around a hundred bucks. What excactly would you do?

Its supposed to be self adjusting, by doing what I said you're helping it self adjust. The stock stuff is junk except the cable.

Dan is correct about the cable - it is not adjustable. The quadrant and pawl are what allow adjustability.

Were it me and money was not super tight, I would get an SN95 cable - nice to replace it and be done with it. Then I would run the Fiore FWA. And the quadrant is up to you - I have never run a multi-hook one like most folks so I cant offer help. The single hook UPR unit is fine by me. However, I would like to try the Fiore quadrant. Below I put a link with more info and pictures.

If money is tighter than that allows, if the stock cable looks ok, leave it. This frees up a decent chunk of change.

This article, by Jeremy Thompson (V8 only) might help you decide.

Good luck bud.

Yes the quad is whats self adjusting and thats what I was referring to. I hope you didn't think I meant the stock cable was self adjustable. If so, sorry for the confusion. Im no noob

If anyone wants a Fiore click type FWA drop me a line I will charge only for shipping say $5. Is is brand new never used. My mechanic and I decided it was not worth the effort as my bolts are all messed up.
