fiore is a great product. firewall adjuster basicly allows you to adjust your clutch engage whereever you want. I highly recommend u getting one.

According to Dan, 1/8" is the correct amount of freeplay. That's how mine is set and it's always worked well for me. I'm not sure if the stock set up should also have the 1/8" but as mentioned above, you should have an aftermarket adjuster. They help a lot.

mine doesnt really work well at all. i have slack at the firewall although i think my stock cable is stretched out.

you can hear the quadrant bangin against the pedal from the slack in the cable.

then again mine is a 94 but it shouldnt make a difference. i think i am going to sell mine and get the stock stuff back or just get the maximum motorsports piece.

Slash... here is what I do to any adjuster:

- car off, in neutral, parking brake one
- screw it all the way in so the cable is totally loose
- tug on it a few times... the cable, not your other toy...
- get in the car and push the clutch pedal down and out a few times to get any slop out of cable
- unscrew out until it touches cable, should be a 1/8" play as Cliff said.
- start car up and go for a spin!

Thats a good break down on adjusting it Im gonna try that I never had the car in Neutral before.

Victor did mine that way and it worked great for me.

Don't reinstall the factory junk. You will never be able to adjust it right.
Get a freeplay kit from LDC. That should help with the slop in the cable and the looseness you feel. A stretched cable should not really matter that much, but a new Ford cable is the way to go if you are replacing it.
