Many people on here will tell you to stay clear of an adjustable cable. I just ordered PMP clutch kit along with there quadrant/adjuster with adjustable cable. Pretty leary about it, but I was told from PMP that they have many racers using this with zero issues.

Pending on the firewall adjuster you have some shaving/ grinding may need to be done so the plastic part of the cable will slide into the fw adjuster. If you have a cheap adj cable don't expect it to last long. Order a replacement from ProMotion performance if you want to keep the adj cable or order a stock one from Tousley ford if you don't an adj cable.

I have found that some quadrants are sharp out of the box. I used a buffing wheel on the channel to soften the inner edges I've seen some sharp enough to cut a finger, imagine what it will do to a cable not lined up and under pressure when the pedal is pushed in.
