[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 15682066, member: 10216"] even though a twin disc will definitely decrease the pressure on the cable (and your leg), it sounds like your problem is not the clutch, but the alignment of your quadrant. it is very important that it is solidly perpendicular to your firewall and fw adjuster all the way through the range of motion. you usually have to use a combination of shims to achieve this. otherwise, the cable will fray and break at the quadrant end in short order. the cable also must be directly centered through the adjuster opening without touching the sides. i recall that this was a somewhat common issue that folks were having back in the day. there are probably several threads with pics that address this issue in the terminator archive. btw the name of the designer for these aftermarket pieces is "fiore", not "fore". fore is a company that made beautiful billet pieces such as rear end covers, fuel rails, etc. best of luck with it!
