MM has a nice quadrant/firewall adjuster kit that uses that stock cable. It still puzzles me how Ford thought that a thin piece of plastic is going to hold up to the force of the clutch and your foot (especially on fast shifts).

And I prove your wrong Every time that you say that aftermarket cables suck as soon as my car moves (which is every day.)

Ive said it about 3 times. Why do I say it? Its because they are GARBAGE. You suck, your car is slow, and your steeda cable doesnt snap because you cant shift fast in your high heels and skirt. you are too busy prepping your make-up from your purse.

Not sure where this cable replacement crap came from cause OEM is the only way to go, but mines not broken or stretched so its not going anywhere. Just a quick release steeda quadrent is going in. There are actul peices of the plastic quadrent under my dash.
I love there distription its me to a T:
"The factory plastic self-adjusting quadrant is fine for stock clutches, but when you add a heavy duty clutch or some fast power-shifts, it starts to bend. This unwanted flex causes inconsistent clutch engagement and missed shifts at best, plus worn synchronizers and a broken quadrant at worst. Replace that weak plastic clutch quadrant with Steeda's super strong billet aluminum "Quick Release" quadrant. The strong flex free billet quadrant design stands up to the hardest shifts."
I still love powershifting.

Yeah, I wouldn't put a steeda clutch cable on my car either. I have the UPR quadrant and firewall adjuster and it works pretty good....can't go wrong with steed either....just not their cable. Ford OEM cable FTW.

hell i put a cheap *** UPR quadrant kit in my car when the cable stretch leaving me semi stranded at college. ordered the stuff in, put the quadrant, firewall adapter, and cable in the parking lot, and drove it home. had to stop and tighten the jam nut on the side of the interstate though. the second RAM HD clutch killed the cable...
doesnt matter a ton which cable you go with, the jury is still out.

Well it is the quadrent like i thought i got under there with a flashlight and it stripped alot of the teeth off thus causing my problem. I guess there right between the powershifts and stiffer clutch the stocker cant take it.
I am looking to go either double hook steeda quadrent and firewall adjuster (screw adjustable cables i want nothing ot do with them) or the quick ratio quadrent and firewall adjuster.
Has anyone rocked the quick ratio one before? only thing i am wondering is it says it makes it alot more stiff then factory and i wonder how much that really is.
Otherwise i will order the double hook and firewall adj. tomarrow and hopefully get it early next week or if im lucky this saturday. cause having 2" of clutch engagment sucks for driving my car
