    Installed Maximum Motorsports clutch cable package

    I just got my MM cable in also. How did you go about mounting the cable to the frame? The crimped on attachment point for the bracket on the cable is about 8" forward for where the stock one was. Does the bracket now just guide/sit on the bare jacket? Or is there a better way?

    Shoddy cables or possibly the clutch/tranny/etc?

    Alright, snapped some pics under the car. Here is where the clutch fork sits when the TOB contacts the pressure plate And here is the interior view when it contacts the pressure plate And here is the interior view when the clutch fork is pulled all the way to the rear. I know...

    Shoddy cables or possibly the clutch/tranny/etc?

    Yeah, I think it's starting to sound like a clutch. THe tranny does have a steel bearing retainer. That's what gets me through... once i rerouted the cable under the motor mount the clutch felt awesome until the cable broke/stretched

    Shoddy cables or possibly the clutch/tranny/etc?

    The first time I put a new cable on, it was on different than you recommended. That one lasted a year. The pedal was kinda stiff. That cable frayed down to 2 strands on the quadrant and I replaced it and routed it like you recommended. MUCH MUCH lighter pedal, felt almost like my friend's...

    Shoddy cables or possibly the clutch/tranny/etc?

    That's what I mean, forgot it was your article. That's how i had it routed since going through these cables. "Under" the motor mount between the K-member attachment points like in the picture and under the shaft for the R&P.

    Under (nearer the center of the K memeber) or through the gap in the mount? I had routed it through as per the article in the stickied tech thread

    Shoddy cables or possibly the clutch/tranny/etc?

    I'm just about fed up with this... I've been fighting with this for the past week on my 91LX 5.0 I've done some searches but could quite find the answers I was looking for. About 1.5yr ago I put in a Fiore FWA and Quad... at the time, the stock cable was fine. 6 months later, it breaks...

    Fuel pump (and/or relay) issue... need help fast

    Ok... just looking for any quick ideas of what to check next. This is on a 91 LX 5.0L Parked my car yesterday morning. Came out to it 5 min later, it attempted to start (maybe 5-6 revolutions running) and then just turned. Kept on turning. Could not hear the fuel pump prime or run...

    It begins again.... restarting project

    Haha, that thread about the gas tanks might have been mine :) Found out Mustang Project (parts house) is located about 20mi north of me... however they don't stock a whole lot of stuff, and no body panels. Oh well... got my taillight panel coming off of ebay. Here is the plan of attack...

    It begins again.... restarting project

    Alrighty.... so with my new college degree in hand (History with Mfg. Tech minor :nice: ) it's time to thrash on the '70 so I can have it at least driving in about 5-6 months. Yeah, I know- GOOD LUCK!! haha So in the interest of time I've scrapped the major plans I had for the car and have gone...

    Rod & Customs New Rear Coil-Over System

    Definitely not feeling the top mount for the two upper arms. All of the forces acting on the differential are being put through a smallish peice of plate that is partially boxed. I'd much prefer a mount that included more of the bolts of the third memeber and was of a more compact design...

    Hoping it's just my cable...

    Hey everyone, just trying to alleviate some fears. On the way to work this morning went to shift and heard a pop. Clutch pedal went straight to the floor. THe car was in gear so I drove it up into a parking lot and cut it. Looked underneath and the cable was still attached to the clutch...

    Alignment and break swap question...

    I've got just about everything to do the 94/95 swap onto my 91 hatch... except one friggin spindle nut and dust cap. But anyways... I need to do an alignment bad, the car is lowered and PO didn't put in plates. I have the plates to put in, but I don't think I have time to do both on the same...

    Looks like I need a frame rail...

    So here is a question... say you've got a frame rail that messed up like that... or maybe even less. If you were planning to use through the floor/frame subframe connectors; could you start them forward near their beginning point and basically cut out the bottom off the original frame so the...

    Do I really need a new quarter...

    So for x-mas my folks sprang for a new quarter skin after I told them about the damage I'd found under the near .25 inch of bondo on my driver side. There is a fist sized dent, lots of dings, and some wierd stippling near the very back. They got the smaller quarter skin for like 97$ total but...

    T' EFI return line into pump supply

    I'll throw in my plans as well... on my car I had planned to move the gas cap ala the dodge charger to the upper left fender. Flush mount aircraft style filler recessed into the panel... Anyways.. I did some looking around and found a tank out of a early 90s ford van that was just about the...

    I'm not quite in that same boat, but I'm feeling ya on the floors and stuff. As soon as I can sneak the camera link cord from my folks I'll post the most recent pics of my hibernating stang...

    How to: Convert your auto pedal assembly to Std.

    I may have done it wrong, but when I put the quadrent and adjuster in my fox I took out the factory stuff including the spring. When the clutch depresses and releases- the fingers on the pressure plate force back the throwout bearing, pulling on the clutch cable and therefore pulling the clutch...
