Clutch pops after AOD to T5 swap

93LxVert · 03-08-2002, 07:58 AM

I recently had a guy do an AOD to T5 swap. I rounded all the parts an optioned to use new parts for the clutch quadrant/cable and clutch assembly. My problem is that when I press the clutch it sometimes (not always) makes a solid pop. The clutch works fine and clutches properly. Is it possible that I was sold a bad quadrant cable? I've looked for possible kinks, but there doesn't appear to be any. Any suggestions are highly appreciated...

well if it is a stock cable and quadrant your quadrant is plastic. over time it gets old and strips out and starts slipping (popping). my advice for you is to get an adjustable cable and quadrant and do away with the defective stock piece.
