Why does my tranny get harder to shift

[TorchedCoupe]

After some quick shifting? I have to pull up on the clutch pedal to reset the cable after a couple of fast shifts... What is the problem?

I had a UPR firewall adj/ Clutch Quadrant on my Mach 1 and I hated it. I'm nervous to try one on my Cobra as I'm comfortable in the engagement point right now.

The car only has 20000 miles, but it does have chatter on hills and a chirping TOB! :cuss:

Your stock plastic clutch quadrant is stripped. You have to replace it. Sounds like you need to replace TOB, too, and maybe clutch, too!

 

[TorchedCoupe]

Hmm, how could it become stripped?

Can I just install the quadrant w/o a firewall adjuster? If I do install these, can I keep the stock clutch cable in? I swapped out the one in my Mach, and it wasn't worth it.

I think I'll try Fiore this time.

I don't know about the UPR quadrant and firewall adjuster but I have a fiore w/the stock cable and it is great. Solved all my clutch issues.

 

[whi tri]

yup you can use upr quadrent and your stock cable. Works great

I'm noticing the same thing. I've had the TOB chirp for maybe a couple months now, and I've been noticing the shifter is a little tighter/notchier feeling when moving from gear to gear.
I was planning on taking the car to the dealership to get them to replace the TOB and sleeve with the "improved" parts I've heard about (since a lot of owners have had similar issues). Then I plan to get a quadrant/firewall adjuster and that LDC spring. Should that do the trick?

I have a UPR Clutch quadrant and a BBK clutch quandrant for sale. Also have adjustable clutch cables steeda and BBK....

I've got an adjustable quadrant, and have had my TOB changed. It did not fix this issue. My shifting is fine when the car is cold in the morning, but by afternoon when it's hot, it shifts very poorly.

My car would not shift worth a crap once the rev's were up. I had the stock plastic quadrant with a Pro 5.0 shifter. I bought the Fiore quadrant and firewall adjuster and it solved the problem immediatly. I liked it so much I got rid of the cable eating UPR triple hook quadrant in my wife's 5.0 and put the same setup and her's and no more problems on her's either.

could you just change the quadrant out or do you have to change it all?

 

[jking32]

You can just get the quadrant if you like, but trust me the firewall adjuster is worth every cent and then some. I adjusted mine, thought I had it where I wanted it, went for a drive, did not like it, popped the hood, made a couple of turns and I was done. The Fiore Quadrant and adjuster are very high quality pieces.

okay, thanks

I just did the Fiore full setup and it is nice. My pedal use to go mushy and release really low after powershifts or just quick speed shifts. It doesn't do that anymore. Another big plus is with an aftermarket setup you get the TOB of the fork.

Could it be something as simple at adding tranny fluid? Could it be low? I had a similiar problem but I needed a clutch.

One way to find out, check your fluid level. The stock quadrant is junk, svt should be ashamed to put that plastic pos in our cars. Seriously guys, do yourself a favor and look at the fiore adjuster/ quadrant, and ldc spring. I have not had a single issue since installing these, car shifts smooth as silk.

I just changed my fluid to Royal Purple 1 month or 50 miles ago..

I'm about to order the Fiore quadrant and see how that goes.

 

[TorchedCoupe]

Quadrant came in today so I'll install it today or tomorrow.. That Fiore unit is much bigger than the UPR model.. Looks and feels like a quality piece too.

 

[CobraBob]

You're going to be very happy with it! This is one mod I believe should be on everyone's mod short list. Let me know you like it and whether or not it solved your problem.
