Mustang Adjustable Clutch Cable Kit Install - 5.0Resto (82-95 5.0L, 94-04 3.8L)

[@Rumeeezyy]

You guys have no idea how much these videos mean to us, well you probably do since we're all mustang enthusiasts, but they are soo incredibly helpful. Keep them coming!

[@latemodelrestoration]

You are very welcome! We love passing along our knowledge to fellow customers and enthusiasts! -Landan

[@DavidEikmeier]

Me: I’ve got all the tools to do this! LMR: Start by putting the car on a lift. Me: Well….shit

[@sto1asgoetia600]

Actually only need the front end up about 2-3 feet in the air to do this.

[@GucciBodyBags]

The first thing i bought from lmr was new nuts and bolts for my control arms, they sent me the wrong hardware, i called them about it and they asked for photos of the new hardwares length for the control arms (far too short) and within like two days i got the correct ones right away without dealing with any lame RMA processing. Thanks guys! Cant wait to do more business and make my car last forever!

[@latemodelrestoration]

I am glad our Customer Care Department took great care of you! Appreciate the awesome feedback and thank you for your business. -Landan

Just recently got the SVE clutch cable replacement from LMR... shipped in 1 day... Since I live in Austin Tx, just an hour from their warehouse in Waco. Just simply amazing... shifts and drives amazing and feels like a brand new car. I have a 2003 Cobra with 38k miles. Install only took 24 minutes. Completely satisfied. 😻I highly suggest to lube the sleeve with motor oil or WD40... And keep it lubed every 2 months or so. It will prolong the life of the cable... Once it binds up because of improper lubrication... Could tend to the ball snapping off at the clutch pedal. Hope it helps someone. ❤

[@tuxedomechanic6019]

I'm in baton rouge working on my foxbody as we speak and this clutch cable mess is a beast.

[@dawerstchannel589]

same here my clutch cable adjuster gear is messed up and my pedal acts like its gonna engadge and then falls straight to the floor

[@guysfieri8900]

im out in the bayou too my podna helping me install on my gt we cookin crawdads after

[@mustangru1900]

I've done it Many times and still watch this video lol

[@johndoe-zb8bm]

It's not that easy on a 1987-1993!!!!! Let see you do a foxbody that quick!It can be done but it's a real pain in the butt!

[@robertomendez899]

I'm having the hardest time putting the damn new bracket on lol

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

I love the 93 model a little more than the 95

[@mr.selfdestruct1677]

I can confirm it's a nightmare

[@sergiovelasquez6549]

I love how he takes everything off in seconds. Ive done it on 2 foxbodies doing it now on a third one. I forgot how much of a nightmare it was. That adjuster spring 🤬

[@johnvilla2290]

Some tips I want to give -take out driver seat first - feed the new cable following the old one before you take the old one out completely -the screws on my kit didn’t fit right in because they were a bit thicker then the hole, I didn’t need to drill just screw them in all the way without the fire wall adjuster on to widen the holes to size, other then that everything should go smoothly

[@johnvilla2290]

Also gotta thank you guys in LMR the parts literally fit right in , it made everything go better then I imagined you guys are great 😁

[@awhitness]

the factory Quadrant has the spring. Once the spring is removed there is a gap. In the past I have filled that gap with washers.

[@darryl163]

I bought a foxbody with this adjuster if I want the clutch to grab more closer to the floor do I screw the firewall adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise? I'm checking forums and getting different answers thanks

[@THEOAKLANDBABY510]

your flooring I just wanna adjust the clutch petal but idk if I need to loosen or tighten the bolt and I’m pretty sure its clockwise

[@lees7539]

What did you ever come up with? Is it clockwise under the hood? I backed mine out now I cannot for the life of me get it to turn back clockwise towards the firewall

[@Shogun636]

Do you leave the rubber band on the quadrant or does it tighten up after adjusting

[@alexsbikesandmotors]

My 01 3.8 clutch had all sorts of problems- release fork was rattling, shifting was rough especially n to 1st, and clutch pedal was heavy as hell. Never had a car with a cable clutch before but I replaced my cable with an adjustable one and it's so much better. The old cable was stretched so bad there was like 1/2" slop in the release fork.

[@CheesusSVT]

Crazy how much a good part can change the quality of your ride.

[@warrend4027]

This will break lesser men. The hardest part is the quadrant. Just keep at it, and get that clutch pedal as far down as it goes to get everything on and off.

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

🃏This is such a BLESSING 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 That factory plastic quadrant is the WORST idea ever. I'm so glad that mine failed in the driveway. I have to admit tho, the last one lasted over 6years...maybe 🤔. This video is sooo helpful and straightforward. I'm learning more and more how to fix some issues myself. You took me from Ignorance to Knowledge 🤷‍♂️ Now all I need is a great Cheeseburger and a girl named Sally❗

[@sto1asgoetia600]

Word of advice, if you’re going to get a new clutch cable, get one that isn’t plastic wrapped, the exhaust will melt them in one trip.

[@anthony8194]

Does the white part that goes into the turn dial, does that spin or stay in place?

[@arturororozco1970]

on a 87 mustang it's knot that easy no room to work under

[@hansparis5860]

Arturo R Orozco lol, I hear you and when you're in your 50's it gets even more interesting. I'm in process of changing the cable on my 86 even with the driver seat out it's a pain ..... Actually several pains I need to find a skinny little kid with some strength and mechanical ability. I hope this works when I'm done. Cheers.

[@robertomendez899]

Forsure forsure

[@toolow9473]

Can I just use the quadrant, will it work with stock cable without adjuster

[@JoeyDiazInASpeedo]

No if you use the quadrant you need an adjuster

[@davieboy1970]

Your videos are very helpful, but what about the spacers that you need on the aluminum quadrant underneath so that it’s straight and not wobbling around everywhere ?? everywhere else I’ve seen there is spacer that goes on first before the quadrant or you just use washers

[@latemodelrestoration]

Thanks for the great feedback on the videos. You can stack washers or use the spacer that comes in some quadrant kits. -Landan

[@lilmac10horzuber54]

Hey I just bought one but I lost one for the quadrant clip and bent the other. What can I replace them with? Thanks

[@latemodelrestoration]

Are you referring to the small cotter pins that retain the quadrant to the pedal? If so, you can get those at your local auto parts store. -Landan

[@clayton2746]

does the factory spring get installed with new quadrant

[@irvineyairrabagotorres7159]

Es necesario cambiar el cable de clutch? Para poner el cuadrante?

[@rickyfall9555]

how close should the throw out bearing be to the clutch...should it be touching or backed away just a little bit ?

[@cody00124]

It is very difficult your videos skip a lot which makes it look easy

[@nxzzo1043]

What is this circular metal ring that came with the quadrant for?

[@latemodelrestoration]

That's a spacer to for the quadrant. Check out the instructions on the product page. The kit has been revised since the upload of this video. -Landan lmr.com/item/LRS-7553A/82-95-Mustang-Adjustable-Clutch-Cable-Kit

[@miketheplumber448]

-89 LX. Remove the driver seat and also take their mounting bracket off and switch it with the stock bracket so the exhaust does not melt your new cable. Also DO NOT unscrew the adjustable device apart to see how it works, DO NOT.

[@collos3372]

I have installed it but my clutch pedal is way too high. Thinking to put back my plastic one. How can I adjust height of the clutch pedal?

[@RahimKhan-lf1cu]

Hey guys, ive got a 83 ford mustang convertible. when im trying to the self adjusting gear piece it hits park of my cars "frame" or something which isnt letting me pull the self adjusting gear off... what do i do!!!!

[@nancieventers3791]

I recently purchased this item, and followed the video. I have never done this before so I am a novice to say the least. The problem that am having is that the bolt exceeds the dust cover. My husband suggested cutting the bolt however that doesn't seem right to me. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. Thank you

[@ulisesc4388]

thats the only way sometimes it won't matter if the nut is passed the part ur cutting XD

[@CorruptedChris]

Did all thoes steps on my 94 mustang gt but the clutch pedal don't return back up

[@latemodelrestoration]

Please give our tech team a call at 866-507-3786.

[@erickibarra9381]

I have a 93 5.0 my gears are rough and not smooth is it because I need a clutch cable because the gears work just line

[@dwrdyts]

What if it engages more than 3 inches off the floor?

[@hughjanus590]

Get a new floor

[@bsalabao]

Will this also make the clutch pedal easier to push down? I know the fox bodys usually have to be pushed heavily. Please reply !

[@latemodelrestoration]

+Benny Blanco The pedal effort will be the same, but it does feel more solid then it did before. -Landan

[@aldobolico]

Will this allow me to adjustthe HEIGHT of my clutch pedal and when it engages? ?? Im having issues with it being to high and its hard toget a feel for it . ....

[@jeremyhall420]

I've the same problem and have this kit my pedal is like 4" above my brake pedal and I can't get it lower no matter how hard I try to adjust it.

[@kevionn4.631]

Sameee problem I’m having did you ever fix it ??

[@mr.selfdestruct1677]

I accidentally removed the whole middle part from the adjusted and some stuff came up flying. Any idea how it works. I just found a little metal ball and a spring.

[@latemodelrestoration]

Give us a call at 1-866-507-3786 or email us with the link below and one of our CRR's can help you out!: lmr.com/contact

[@RavenCyclone]

my clutch engages about 3" in when pushing on the clutch but before the starting switch engages. I also have a hell of a time getting into gears regardless (while driving) how far in or out I push in on the clutch. Can you help me with this please ?? Nobody seems to know what is going on. :-(

[@jimjones395]

Tighten your cable

[@terryreeves7078]

Are there anything different in the installation of the 4and6

[@latemodelrestoration]

Yes, there will be differences in the 4 cyl applications that are not covered in this video. You may consult with your local trusted professional for the proper installation.

[@TrevynPlays]

My plastic piece broke that connects the cable to the clutch pedal today can I just replace it or do I need a whole new cable kit?

[@latemodelrestoration]

Please email us in your issue to lmr.com/contact if you are needing assistance.

[@charlesb.3116]

Ok what happens to the rubberband? Is that meant to be a permanent piece of this installation?

[@latemodelrestoration]

You'll pull the rubber band off once the cable is secure and everything in in place. This is just to make it easier when conducting the install.

[@ProwlerJI]

Hi guys Firts I want to say Thank you for share this very helpful information. So I have a 1999 gt Mustang and I'm facing a really awful problem, the transmission car won't go into any gear I changed the clutch for a new one, but when I drive the car for about 5 minutes everey thing is ok. After that The shift feels very hard to move. The only way to chenge the gear is when the car is off. Please I hope you can give me some advice or trick to solve this problem.

[@mikelazar7954]

Don’t be fooled, removing and replacing the quadrant isn’t as easy as it looks especially if you’re a bigger/taller guy like me

[@ulisesc4388]

The screw to hold the cable where can I get it

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hey Ulises, we currently do not offer those screws separately for the clutch cable.

[@rickyfall9555]

and can a bad clutch cable be the reason why a throw out bearing can break

[@jeremyhall420]

I'd say that's bad adjustment but yea a stretched cable could cause it.

[@jamielowder1]

why didnt mine come with the billet ring for the firewall

[@latemodelrestoration]

Jamie - We sell two different kits. One with the firewall adjuster and one without. -Landan

[@derekburnett2728]

Okay, best I can tell this quadrant kit is not being installed on a fox body. If it were it’d be much more in depth. Under the dash on a fox body there’s almost no room to work, and the small gear doesn’t just pop off that easy. I’ve done two on a fox body, and they can be a nightmare. You pretty much gotta get a lot of stuff out of your way to install the quadrant on a fox.

[@jgstang234]

I don't know where you came up with all that room lol

[@kickswithnobounds4920]

I had no room and took me a long time

[@N8tiveBaller22]

He's no Justin from American Muscle though.

[@Dthejewl]

My aluminum quadrant wont slide on both

[@robertomendez899]

Same

[@rosarioperez790]

hi I bought this kit and my new cable doesn't fit in the fire wall adjuster ...w hat do I do

[@latemodelrestoration]

Hello Rosario! Did you file the plastic tabs down and remove the rubber bushing? This is shown at 2:19. -Landan

[@rosarioperez790]

I had it profesional installed and the said I didn't fit and the removed the rubber thing and the plastic thing looks bigger the the adjuster hole.

[@latemodelrestoration]

rosario perez That's kind of odd.. I would recommend calling our customer car representatives a call at 866-507-3786. Let them know what is going on and possibly verify we sent you the correct cable. Hope this helps! -Landan

[@TheKoppenhaffer]

I've heard lots of complaints that these cables are sub-par to OEM Ford and break over time leaving you stranded. I'll probably go with a kit from Maximum Motorsports unless anyone can change my mind.

[@celli351]

TheKoppenhaffer Ford Racing cables are the best

[@agame4687]

Way harder on a Fox.

[@raycelaya379]

I'm having trouble. my clutch pedal has no tension and goes all the way to the floor doesn't allow me to shift. what can possibly be the problem?
