03 Cobra shifter question

[Daniel]

I test drove a 03 cobra today and noticed how difficult it was to shift the gears. In my mach it's really easy to row them gears. Is the cobra shifter that hard to shift?:shrug: I was going to trade my Mach too but I'm glad I didn't lol.

When I bought my 04 it was really hard to shift. You had to smash the clutch to the floor and it was still hard. To make a long story short, it turns out the piece of junk factory plastic adjustor had a bad tooth and was causing to much slack in the clutch cable. Replaced it with ford racing quadrant and now it shifts perfect.

Oh I see, but this stupid shifter wouldn't let me shift to 2nd quickly and I red lined it trying to go into 2nd lol.

Could still be the clutch not properly adjusted. The factory quadrant is just not vey reliable.
