Broken clutch cable...Grrrrr

Chuck,
  On my 83TC, I am using an adustable cable off of a 94+ mustang, with a STEEDA quadrant. I believe it is dual pickup... I only had to grind off a little bit of the bolt at the part where it connects onto the tranny, but it works great... Let me know what you end up using...

Well my set-up is of course not stock TC.  I have a 79 Mustang pedal assy that was modded to accept a quadrant (originally just a straight arm) and a direct-pull bellhousing.  I have an unknown quadrant and firewall adjuster.

I'm just going to have to go back to the 79 2.3 Mustang cable with the eyelet cut off the pedal end.  It's an adjustable cable, so that helps.

When I do the swap in the 84TC, I'm going to make sure I use a "normal" pedal assy and I'll be using the 5.0 bell behind the SHO motor, so I'll be able to use this Steeda cable I just bought.

Chuck and the words "its stock to the car" do not belong in the same sentence lol. I should have known that before I gave my $.02 lol. Let me know how this works out then...

Frank-
Well the early 2.3T cable appears to be working fine.  Ay less than $25, it's a bargain too.
