Good question. I have a new quadrant and firewall adjuster sitting in my house needing to be installed.....anways, I've heard it's a great mod and makes the car better to drive. One thing I was advised on is to keep my stock clutch cable because they are much stronger than aftermarket cables.

actually the qaudrant is better than stock for the simple reason of the cheap plastic that ford uses, the teeth on it can grind and break and then there you sit on the road with no clutch. as far as the cable i kept the factory on and in case of anything i have the other for emergencies i guess

Your OEM cable is better than the one steeda offers and yes it will fit. Id actually recomment buying a new OEM cable and using that with the new setup if yours is frayed in any sort of way.

I've bought both the quadrant and cable for my stangs. The cable is easy to install, the quadrant is a pain in the butt. You don't have to take out your seat, just lay on your back, but yeah, you back will hurt like a mug.

If you've been to the track and the teeth on the stock quadrant slip, your pedal will feel really lose but the stock ones are adjustable, you just lift on the clutch pedal, towards you. But if you've had the teeth break, my 95GT, that's sucks a$$. I was always told that the aftermarket cables were strong, like a brand name though, not some no namer off of ebay.
