clutch cables

What's the strongest one out there? I've gone through 6 of the autozone ones in the past 4 months since i swapped to a v8, I'm tired of the inside strands that line the plastic sticking out and rendering my adjuster useless. Any reccomendations?

I've had luck with ford parts.

Theres prolly another issue if you have gone thru 6.

same thing i was thinking. there has to be a issue somewhere i would think.

Nope, routed the farthest away, its 3 inches or more from the headers. Stock clutch, reccomended free play. Everyone keeps saying its the $25 cable

Find a Ford cable from a junk yard. Also, be sure your electical grounds are in good condition. If not the clutch cable will act as a ground and all the juice going through it will weaken the cable extremely fast. I had this happen on my old 79 2.3 turbo Capri. Went through several cables until an old time mechanic hipped my this problem.

well i have a whole steeda kit, cable,firewall aduster,quadrent. il sell for 80 bucks its near new.

All I need is the cable. But the ground is a great idea, ill check that later on today

Make sure your quadrent is not moving. I had the same problem and found that my quadrent was moving left and right everytime i pushed the clutch in. This will slowly cut your cable.

On a side note the last cable I put in was a factory cable i bought from a guy on here for $15 bucks. I bought a Steeda cable as a backup if this one goes. I havent had to use it yet.
