1991 Mustang Clutch Cable Change

Hi All,

I need to change the clutch cable on a friend's 1991 Mustang, 5.0/5
speed. I haven't looked at the car yet. Is this a pretty straight
forward job? Does anyone have any tricks/tips to make the job go
easier? I did notice in another post that the OEM replacement cables
etc. are junk. Should she spend the extra bucks to get the good stuff?
Any suggestions which brands etc? Should anything else be changed along
with the clutch cable since I'm going to be there anyway?

Thanks!

Thomas

P.S. If anyone out there lives in Hawaii and wants to pick up a Kenne
Bell blown 11 second 2002 GT Mustang, give me a shout!

It's a pretty straight foreword job. No big tricks. Sometimes snagging the
adjuster quadrant takes a little patience, but not a big deal.
If the car is a basically stock daily driver, I wouldn't change anything else.
As for the stock cable, it's actually quite good. Cobra builders generally
prefer the stock cable. That one lasted 15 years. What more do you want?

I'd also suggest you change the quadrant while you're there. The
originals were pretty flimsy.
