Thanks for your replys. The install went smooth but the clutch is even smoother! It's like butter and I love it! I guess I'm so happy cause I've been driving around forever on a broken clutch cable till now. Now I won't be a freak anymore with one leg muscle bigger than the other . I did remove the drivers seat and I had to use the first hook, but I have so much adjustment between the adj. cable, double hook, and firewall adj. Thats cool too. I do have one major concern tho...

The stock ford plastic quadrant had a spring next to it on that clutch pedal shaft. That spring on an extended piece of the stock quadrant took up about 1/2" on the shaft. Now with the steeda quadrant (and also my old SVO one), there is empty space there and the quadrant moves side to side. That to me is not good since the quadrant sits off center and when a load (your foot) is applied to it, an uneven torque is placed on the shaft. The cable is pulled sideways somewhat too.

Basically I'm concerned about this because my old SVO quadrant was so off-center, the cable actually tore through the metal. Maybe that's how the old cable broke?? Does anyone know of any spacers that are supposed to be put in the shaft to prevent this, cause that's really all it needs. Ok and sorry for the long reply.
