What About The Way They Tell You In The Manual. Is That Wrong
good question!!!!:??::??::??:What About The Way They Tell You In The Manual. Is That Wrong
Yes that is the problem, the auto-adjuster does not keep enough tension on the cable once the clutch/PP ages; that is the whole point of this mod!What About The Way They Tell You In The Manual. Is That Wrong
The only real way to make the clutch pedal softer is to get a different clutch.
:dw:Okay fellas, this mod looks like it is for when the clutch is not fully disengaging when to the floor.....I just had my clutch cable replaced by the local ford house, and now I let the clutch all the way out and SLIP CITY! Can I still bend the tab out of the way, and adjust it the OTHER WAY in order for the clutch to ENGAGE when I let it out? When I go to boost, the clutch just spins....
I don't think it's any lighter up high but I noticed it does take less pressure to hold it on the floor which is nice :thumbsup:BTW: my clutch got a lot lighter when I moved the engagment all the way up.
Either that or the clutch is toast.your cable is probably too tight.
I know this thread is long dead, but if you do purchase the aftermarket quadrant AND the firewall adjuster from just about anybody out there, THE STOCK CLUTCH CABLE should be the desired cable to use. The stock cable is still the best out there. With the FWA/ Adjustable quadrant, all adjustments will be made at the firewall. I just bought a Zoom adj. cable (not wanting the adjustability of the cable but I was in a bind: Ford was out of stock for the FRPP part [163.00 for stock replacement, unh unh..] and the Oreilly PLASTIC sleeved stock replacement couldn't take the heat-literally-even with header wrap) and I set the adjustable cable as far out as I could, enough to keep the nut and jamb nut on with about a full thread showing behind them, then set the cable through the FWA and onto my aftermarket quadrant. All adj. are made at the firewall. I hope this helps--actually, you've probably had your stuff installed for about a month now--maybe it will help someone else;-)good to know. i'm not sure if i'll be able to use the stock cable with an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster.
I kind of doubt that there's anyway to make the pedal engage lower in the travel because the clutch needs that full range of motion to engage and disengage. I'll admit it does take some getting used to, but well worth not missing shifts.any way to lower the pedal once the metal piece is moved?? anyone??? :whine:
