Firewall Cable Adjuster
1) At the bellhousing, remove the plastic splash shield. Use a prybar to slacken the clutch cable and disconnect it from the clutch fork. Disconnect the cable from the firewall.
2) Install the clutch quadrant. See instructions above.
3) Pull the rubber bushing off of the end of the clutch cable (where the cable meets the firewall). File the 4 small bumps off of the end of the clutch cable. Insert the clutch cable into the Cable Adjuster.
1994-2002 MUSTANG USING STOCK CABLE:
Pry the metal flange which bolts to the firewall off of the cable. Unhook the plastic coupler and pull it off the cable sheath. Cut through the coupler to remove it from the cable. Pull the rubber bushing (which was under the coupler) off of the cable. Place adapter bushing (p.n. 217-997-0142) into the Cable Adjuster. Insert the clutch cable into the Cable Adjuster.
4) Install the cable and Adjuster into the firewall and connect the cable to the Double Hook Clutch Quadrant. Attach the cable to the hook closest to the firewall. Use a small screw to attach the Cable Adjuster to the firewall.
5) Reconnect the clutch cable to the clutch fork.
6) Adjust the clutch cable by turning the Cable Adjuster at the firewall. Be sure the clutch fully releases when the pedal is depressed, and the clutch is fully engaged with no tension on the cable when the pedal is released. Spread a small dab of silicone gasket maker on the threads to keep the Cable Adjuster from turning due to engine vibrations.
