Snapped a clutch cable in 1996 Cobra

[Mustangcwo]

Got a call from the son at 11pm and he was stuck at the 805 and El Cajon BLVD on a side street with a broken clutch cable. Kim, at Southland Clutch, sold me a heavy duty STEEDA cable at an "AWESOME" price and it's back on the road.

The clutch cable had been binding for weeks, but now it's smoothe as butter. I'm tightening up the seats tonight and he's happy to be driving once again!!!

The quadrant is hooked back up, the T-56 is rolling through the gears and the new clutch cable is smoothe as silk:

He snapped the input shaft to the T-56 last month. Already pulled and replace. I also put a 180 deg thermostat and reset the fans this week to cool it down a little. Car is running well once again.

The last upgrade was the rear seat delete. He takes the car to Palomar Mtn often and runs with the local crowd.
