Thank God I'm 5'9" and 130 lbs. I just threw my legs over the headrest and climbed under the dash. Still a pain though.
I just finished doing this to my 87 GT. The whole job sucked, but the clutch feels a lot better now.
They make it look so easy. They don't mention of how much of a pain in the ass it is to squeeze into the car between the front seat when you're 6 feet tall and 240 pounds lol. Will be nice if they went a little more into detail on how to adjust the clutch cable properly. To some, this may be our first time doing this.
Exact same size as you man and i had to take out driver seat only 4 bolts. Then not so bad.
svt 96 this install is straight forward but you're right, its not easy getting under the steering wheel to route the cable if you are a bigger person. this is my first time doing this install and im not sure how to adjust the firewall adjuster they should have explained that
Clutch adjustment is tricky abd differs from car to car. I installed a mm quadrant and a Ford adjustable cable on my 2000 GT, I had a lift so getting under the dash wasn't too difficult, but life I said adjusting the clutch. I've found that at any 2 to 3 inches my car will start to move, but when in the air the wheels begin to rotate at about. 5 to 1 inch I wish I knew if that's right. :/
I hear you. Doing this right now to my 97. The bracket in the clutch cable is nowhere near where it mounts to the frame. No instructions even came with the kit.
Hahahaha 😝 yes bro
Direct and simple, thanks
This thing is a pain in the ass I’ve had to adjust mine on both ends to the max to get it to finally engage the clutch and guess what, it slips like no other now.
99 mustang gt
this helped out a lot!!
How can I adjust the cable without the firewall adjuster. Clutch engages high I want it lower so do I tighten the nut in the cable or loosen it?
Tighten
nice work it help me out
now my pedal is very stiff will this change make it smooth ??
DONNY Z
Same here stiff and then slow to release. Did you figure out how to fix it?
franky campa maximum motor sports clutch cable solved the stiffness??
So I bought this kit for my 97 gt. My problem is I have to have the nut all the way on the end of the adjuster on the fork and have my firewall adjuster turned in to have it engage 3 inches off the floor. But my problem is there very little threads to put the jam nut on. Any reason for that? I’m thinking the adjuster on the fork isn’t long enough. In the video he has a lot of threads left for the nuts. I don’t
Hey James, it would make sense that your adjuster isn't long enough. Were you able to find a solution to make it work?
Very good instructions, but you left out the removal of large brackets in order to do the work.
Sorry about that Roman, these were the early days of our how to installs we try to do much better today
What brackets
I upgraded my clutch cable and quadrant to BBS on my ‘01 cobra. The pedal feels very stiff now. Anyone know why?
so where dose the clutch cable route back to under the car? I have took the engine out and forgot where the clutch cable routed through on my 96 mustang gt... Please help
Over your tire rod.
no matter what I do the thing always catches at the top - I have new quadrant new adjustable cable & firewall adjuster
Did you find a way to adjust it so it catches 3" from the floor and not the top? I'm having the same issue..
Seems like this is a Mustang thing. The throw is a little too short in my opinion so this is the side effect
same issue here on my 99 it starts to catch at the very end when im releaseing
Does every car have a quadrant or just mustangs?
I have one and my clutch new and transmission was changed and it struggles to go in first gear why
It’s lose
@@bakedpotato6926bruh 🤣 it’s long gone lol I have a vette now
dears all
could i instal clutch pedal for 1990 mustang to 1967 mustang?q
How are the firewall adjuster with no set screw u don't have to keep adjusting ur clutch do u???
Is there a need to grease the cable? I've heard some things about it being real stiff and some said grease helped.
I've been looking for a replacement clutch cable for almost a year now! at 0:24 , the very top cable is mine! but I cant find it anywhere online. I have a 97 cobra and I've bought 2 cables that both only have one attachment point on them, and are at the wrong spot so they cant bolt up. This is causing the cable to deflect or something, making my clutch fork go lose with the cable, which has made my throw-out bearing go bad for the second time now.
If anyone could help me locate a clutch cable with 2 connectors it would be VERY much appreciated, thank you
Hey David give our team a call and we might be able to help you out 623-434-5277
Does the rubber band stay there or is it just temporary?
Do I leave the rubber band on? The tip keeps slipping out.
Are 79-04 pedal assembly's the same
What is necessary to replace the plastic quadrant?
Will these fit into a 99-04 the pedals I mean if not what's different
All of these kits will pretty much fit the new edge body style, but you have to look specifically when buying. I purchased a maximum motorsports quadrant with a Ford adjustable cable, and it fit like a glove, took about 45 minutes on the install with a lift. I did have to use a cable spacer, so if you want to avoid that you can get a quadrant like the bbk with multiple hooks. My 2000 gt shifts much better now.
No point in having a firewall adjuster mustangs come equipped with a self adjusting table all you have to do is pull up on the clutch pedal every 3000 miles and it readjusts! But fuck i lost my retaining clip fir the cable, cant find one no where!!!
You lose the self adjustment when you replace the quadrant with a metal one.
moneyhungryyt if the stock quadrant is replaced with a aluminum one you can no longer adjust it that way. thats why the firewall is necessary
Okay, on my 1989 GT you can’t use the firewall adjuster, because there is no way to secure it to the firewall.
You can drill and “tap” the holes in order to get the adjuster on the firewall.
@@luisforeal8676Thanks, that’s what I did, and it worked perfectly.
What happened to the pawl and spring?
What year mustang is this?
1999 to 2004 👌🏻
Brian, in your next lame video, install the same thing without a lift. Also, don't remove any other equipment under the dash like in this video.
Have an 81 without factory quadrant, has a single pin ONLY. Aluminum swing arm won't clear bottom of dash, insulation is removed already
Don't waste money on the Stress one. Its the exact one as the stock cable and does not come apart to go through the firewall adjuster. Pathetic!
Good luck with these piece of shit cables. They suck. Adjustment is never accurate and it makes a noise when disengagement of the clutch. Haven’t even had this shit on my car for 5,000 miles.
