Get the 26 spline input shaft if your going to buy one. Its worth doing if you don't want to drop the tranny later if it breaks. Don't buy an aftermarket clutch cable they are crap. I can attest to that. They bind and snap, go oem. You should be able to use the oem cable with the quadrant, I didn't have a problem. Also the spec t/o bearings are garbage as well. I got a stage 2+ for my 02 gt and the t/o bearing needed to be changed in 2 weeks. Spec said that it was from a bad batch. They also said it was made in China. I went ford and haven't had a problem.
