[QUOTE="Comp04svt, post: 15682756, member: 73358"] [IMG]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4331/35940421854_6f8799d384_c.jpg[/IMG] I appreciate the ideas! I don't believe the issue is a quadrant alignment issue. My first cable frayed up by the quadrant. With this cable, the collar pictured that rests against the adjuster separated and slid back toward the lower portion of the "splined" looking area. I didn't realize this until I got my new cable yesterday and went, oh that looks weird. Both cables are/were Ford OEM. I originally thought the cable just broke somewhere in-between the adjuster and bell housing, but I guess not. I would go out on a limb and say the reason this happened is due to the how heavy the clutch is. I guess it could just be a defective part because I've never came across anything like this or read anything like this, but this cable has been in the car for 5-6 years so who knows. I guess I could try to epoxy that piece back into position and put a worm clamp on the end for support, but I don't know if I trust that. I'll probably put a worm clamp on the end of the new cable for support to try and prevent this again. Then I'll save for a new clutch haha. [/QUOTE]
