What's up all?!!
I wanted to start off by saying that I have a tremendous amount of experience in the area of clutch quadrants, and adjustments, etc. For some time I have been using and advocating the use of the upr triple hook quadrant.
My bro has one on both of his fox mustangs. However, on my vert, I'm running a very old setup which I used very early on. I have the ford racing single hook quadrant with a steeda firewall adjuster.
My stang has been down for some time, so I didn't notice the differnce between clutch pedal feeling until I finally drove my vert again.
With the clutch in my vert adjusted properly, it sits just BARELY in height above the brake pedal. The clutch grabs a couple of inches or so off the floor, or just less than halfway which is perfect.
Both of my brothers cars have brand new clutches and brand new trannies. One has a tremec 3550 with a new kc clutch, and the other mustang has a new t5 with a brand new centerforce df clutch.
with him using that triple hook quadrant, cable on second hook his clutch pedal when adjusted properly sits a good 2 inches or so above the brake pedal. This makes the clutch a bitch to operate, as it seems to have WAY too much up and down movement. Not only that, with these quadrants, his clutch does not grab until three quarters end of travel, so in other words, he's got to let way, way out on the clutch till the car starts going.
I know for a fact the clutches are good, and it does the exact same thing on both cars.
I've come to the conclusion that the upr quadrants place an unnatural curve in the cable dynamics and placement, and for that reason cause a higher clutch pedal, and a very high engagement point. I told him to order a single hook quadrant to see if I can test out my theory, since my stang has a single hook and none of these issues. he ordered the MM single hook unit, but they've been backordered forever.
My question, with all of you running this upr piece, and cable placement on the second hook, who has a very high sitting clutch pedal and very high engagement point???
please no statements "works fine for me"
I'm trying to get in depth opinions so I can fine tune my knoweledge here, adjust my tech article accordingly, and get my brothers clutch feel up to par so it doesn't feel like ****
