So I can buy the MM quadrant and adjuster and keep the cable I have?
That should save some $$

Yeah you keep the stock cable.

Ok stock one is off (pawl was easier than I thought),
Now which one do I buy?
I'm thinging firewall because the rubber that meets the firewall on the $25 autozone cable is already torn basicly off and you pull off that whole assembly when using a FW adjuster, correct?

Also, do you use the round tension spring(s) on the aftermarket quadrant, I hope not, can't see hooking it back around like it was.
Hopfully the new one will have bushings, or perhaps the cable holds it in place?

With the MM version you take off the rubber piece that you're talking about.

You don't use the spring.

my .02 is to replace the cable at the same time. i just did this same exact thing on my 89 2 weeks ago. the steeda double hook quadrant i used came with a bushing and 2 plastic washers. i put the bushing on the main shaft, and it stays in place. i liked having the adjustable cable and quadrant, along with the piece of mind in all new equipment. i can see where the firewall adjuster would be nice if you had a stretched stocker. how old is your cable? did you already buy the mm. cj's pony parts sells the steeda kid, with quad, cable and firewall adjuster for 110 i think. good luck, you got the hard part over with, that locking pawl is a RPITA.

I got the Summit Kit that has a cable adjustable at the tranny and comes with a firewall adjuster so hopefully I'll be able to set it presicly.
