Dana said:I wouldn't do it.
There is not enough travel in the linkage as it is and the height adjuster removes even more.
Most guys that have tried it have gone back to the stock setup after wasting a ton of time and money.
It can be done, but the car deosn't shift right or the clutch wears out prematurely.

Yes, adjust the clutch correctly.Cobra Jack said:my reason for wanting to do it, is that my clutch releases almost at the very top.. it did so with the stock clutch and now with the DFX.
my cousin's '03 releases near the bottom and has less travel.. I've driven his car a number of times down the track and like his clutch feel much better than mine.
any advice?
Dragon03 said:If you do decide to go with one go with Steeda. The first one I used was from BBK and it took a crap right by the firewall adjuster went to BBK and they said it must have been defective well ok they sent another one and it did the same thing , I have had the Steeda clutch cable on for 3 months now and have no trouble with it and my clutch releases at about half way with the firewall adjuster and if you want a firewall adjuster use Steedas as well....BBK sucks in that department too.
Screw it in, towards the firewall, that will add some freeplay.Cobra Jack said:I currently have the stock cable. and the Steeda Firewall adjuster, and quick release quadrant.
another thing of note is that the firewall adjuster is nearly fully screwed out at this point.

Adjust it until you can pull the cable out of the adjuster about an 1/8 inch or a little more.
If you keep it like it is, the clutch will be toast shortly. It has to be slipping now, whether you feel it or not.

Since you have access I would replace the TOB they are cheap and I would consider it preventative maitence.Cobra Jack said:oh it's slipping, hard core.. anytime I give it 75% throttle or more above 5K rpms.. I've tried adjusting the adjuster every which way with the same slipping result.
I'm dropping the trans today or tomorrow and replacing the clutch with the one Vince has.. anything else I should replace while it's out?
the 26 spline, TOB, Fluidanza flywheel all have about 6K miles
There a couple of write-ups on ModFords about the install. I did one of them.Flatliner said:It definitey needs to be adjusted into the firewall like Dana said. I may just have to do my own clutch install in the next week.
Any advice on the 26 spline switch out?

Dana said:As Dragon said, change the TOB. It's probably damaged by this time anyway.

BIGONTS said:I have a Maximum Motorsports one. Didn't notice much difference and it was a pain to adjust. The clutch was letting out way too early, at the bottom. or way too high. I still have it in my car set up at stock height, or close to it. I would sell it to you, but just don't have time to take it out. How soon do you want it?
