Throwout Bearing ftl......

[Venomous96Cobra]

So now that my arm is finally healed enough, hyper extended elbow :crybaby2:

I was able to take down the transmission today to inspect the damage, and to determine since I dont know what clutch was in there 10.5in. or 11in. before I order the clutch, because with my luck I would order the 10.5in. clutch and the car would need an 11in. here is what I found... :BangHead:

Slightly damaged throwout bearing :angry4:

anyone up for marbles :tongue3:

I was just about due for a new clutch anyway :angry7:

I ordered the SVE mongoose along with a steeda adj clutch cable kit should be equivalent to what was in the car, well see I will post pics of the new parts and the install...

lol grats on the carnage. I blew mine into pieces on my old stang.

the only inconvenient thing is that this is my daily driver! so having it up on stands, and now waiting for parts to arrive is absolutely no fun :dontknow:

The SVE Mongoose and the Steeda adj cable with triple hook quadrant and firewall adjuster has me at just under $300 shipped....

Advance Auto Parts oem style clutch was $259 and their non adjustable cable was $40 and the items also needed to be ordered and would take 3-5 days! the only positive about the parts store parts were the warranty Limited Lifetime on the clutch which means a free replacement when it wears and 1 year on the cable! but I'l wait a few days for performance parts instead...

Most people have alot of problems with those adjustable cables.. They usually snap very often.

what do you recommend stock self adjusting?!? I daily drive the car so let me know...

 

[Adam95GT]

Stock cables are the way to go. FWA's and Quads are nice to

Stock cable , enough said..

and as far as a good TOB

 

[Rice_slayer]

OEM Ford cable is the only way to go! I had a crappy aftermarket adjustable one, here is a pic of it about 2 days before I replaced it, I had it installed for about 6 months.

Well, I decided I didn't want to wait for shipping so I drove To Deland, Fl and picked up a RAM HD clutch kit and a Ford Racing hd cable and quadrant kit! they're about an hour away but at least I can get my car up and running sooner than I would have, had I waited from an order to arrive from Latemodelresto.com parts look really good, clutch look's like a nice quality piece!!! and both items were $276 out the door...

You would have been disapointed with the mongoose clutch anyway, I burnt it up in about 4 months in my DD. Makes sure you get that flywheel resurfaced or you'll kick yourself in the ass when you have to do the job again.
