What is the right adjustment for the clutch? Everyone seems to have a different answer or say the clutch isn't adjusted correctly, where can I find the correct way to adj the clutch??
Preloaded TOB. There is a video on YouTube by promotion powertrain that tells you how to adjust your cable correctly.
Sounds good! How many miles is on your clutch set up?
None lol, new clutch. Just got the trans in last night. That's why I wanna make sure I adj it correctly from the beggining
I watched the youtube vid, I don't have a firewall adj on the car currently just the quadrant and adj cable, I have the cable adj so the tob is against the pressure plate but I can't tell the load
I have had most/all of the shifting problems listed in this thread. Hard shifting, clutch smell on 4th gear pull(spec stage 3+), stiff shifter. I have installed LDC freeplay mod, steeda adj. cable/quadrant/firewall adjuster, and washer shim on tension spring, and filled it with synchromesh. I never could get the adjustment quite right, and was always having rough/notchy shifting, sometimes not being able to get it in gear. When the car was cold, it would slightly grind on normal driving and shifting from 1st to 2nd gear(like the clutch wasn't totally disengaging). I systematically eliminated pieces one by one. I bet you can't guess what it was........the FRIGGIN STEEDA ADJUSTABLE CABLE. I put the stock cable back on, and my pedal effort was about 30% less, no grinding even when cold, and it now shifts like a dream. I can't say enough about NOT using aftermarket style cables. I had issues with my 91 foxbody with some aftermarket cables also. It seems that Ford got it right with their clutch cables? Well, sorry for the rant, just wanted to put in my .02.
