Are you running a fox length clutch fork? If not, the holes don't line up and there will be binding in the cable.

I would personally go with an OEM ford cable, but I've heard the Maximum Motorsports one is good also.

 

either one is good... I got me an OEM a few weeks ago and can't believe I waited so long to replace that POS adjustable that was in there before.

 

MM's cable IS an oem cable. So get either one. However, I'm quite positive the MM unit is MUCH MUCH cheaper than the dealer!

 

ive gone through some cables too. sucks!! im running a UPR cable for the past 3 years now surprisingly its doing fine. i didnt know the MM cable was OEM i think im gonna order one just in case

 

Well luckily I found a nice stock cable a while back and it's worked out flawlessly. I too have had way too many aftermarket "adjustable" cables snap at the worse possible times!

 

I'm still on the factory stock cable, even with the McCleod SFI bell, SPEC stage 3 clutch, and TKO600 setup (basically a fox style tranny setup).

 

Yes I am using a fox clutch fork with the fox bellhousing. (i didnt know you could mix the sn95 fork with the fox bell)

I am going to buy the MM cable and quad kit. Im going to replace it all and be done with it!

If you go the MM site, youll see that they ONLY use OEM FORD CABLES. Like everybody says, OEM is the best.

 

Its part number MMCP-51 btw

 

you can get either one...they both should work well but make sure that you don't have anything in a bind or have it adjusted too tight etc..

 

Just got the cable kit today, and it looks great! Maximum Motorsports is a great company!

 

You'll love that MM unit. :drool: I went from a Steeda adjustable piece to the MM piece (got it for $40!), and love the improvement it made in clutch feel! My mechanic runs a MM cable on his 540whp 427 Fox with a TKO, and it's been going strong for awhile now.

 

I beleive MM uses an OEM cluth cable, but not specific to a certain year of mustang. Thats why they say you have to use some sort of adjuster or aftermarket quardrant with the cable.

This may be the reason they can get it for cheap, it may be from a v6f150, but its still an OEM ford piece that will fit your mustang.

 

About how many miles does the OEM clutch cable last?

 

The MM piece is also sold at www.americanmuscle.com who ships fast and FREE!

 

I installed the MM cable kit and it feels AMAZING!

I found that the problem I was having was due because of quadrant alignment. The cable was binding on my UPR triple hook and not riding in the "notch" it was suppose to. This caused the cable to break half of the cords right under the dash.
The MM kit comes with washers to space the quadrant in the right location in relation to firewall opening. It feels like butter now! (just a lil stiff though, the Zoom pressure plate is quite strong)

I am having one issue though, occasionally I will get a popping noise from the cable. It sound like it is releasing from a bind somewhere but i cant pip point it. It only happens once in a while; I had my friend depress the clutch a few times while I looked for the noise but the cable decided not to do it that time.
Anyone ever have this problem too?

ive seen quite a few cables get hung up on the firewall adjuster.if you notice,the hole in the firewall is a tad higher than the cable pick-up point at the quadrant.if you screw the firewall adjuster in enough,it will eventually intersect the cables path and start rubbing.then...POP!!
