MMCL-3 Clutch Cable Firewall Adjuster, 1982-2004
This beautiful machined aluminum adjuster, allows the use of our universal clutch cable and aluminum clutch cable quadrant so you can adjust your clutch cable tension easily from under the hood. Aftermarket cables are much lower quality, and require the stock plastic adjustment mechanism or can be adjusted down at the transmission clutch fork. Our adjusters are easily adjusted from where the cable passes through the firewall near the brake master cylinder. Our adjuster has more adjustable length than many other adjusters making it best suited to all the year ranges of Mustangs. We found that 1994-95 Mustang stock cables required more adjustment than earlier or later clutch cables. It works with all stock clutch cables or with most aftermarket cables (although we don't recommend or sell them due to poor quality). |

MMCL-6 Clutch Quadrant: Maximum Motorsports raises the bar by manufacturing a clutch quadrant to replace the brittle plastic factory quadrant. The strong, yet lightweight (only 4.4 oz.) CNC aluminum quadrant was MM's engineering department's answer to the shortcomings of all other clutch quadrants. It allows the use of a durable stock style cable, not requiring an adjustable cable. A firewall adjuster is required.
It is the details that separates the Maximum Motorsports Clutch Quadrant from all others.
Works with a durable stock cable because MM designed the quadrant and the firewall adjuster around the stock cable. All other quadrants require aftermarket adjustable cables which stretch, break, collapse and melt much easier than the factory cable. |

The mounting hole diameters are critical. Too loose and the quadrant will "wobble" side to side adding slop to the pedal feel. Too tight and it wont fit. MM hold a very tight tolerance during manufacture to ensure the proper fit.
The slotted second hole is Maximum Motorsports' solution to Ford's loose tolerance on the distance between the two shafts that hold the quadrant. To deal with this problem, some manufactures make the second hole extra large to fit all cars. Others do not use a hole at all and allow the quadrant to rest on top of the second shaft. Both methods result in a loose, rattling pedal.
A stock quadrant radius is used on the MM Clutch Quadrant. A larger radius is not necessary and will cause three problems. It increases pedal effort, causes the clutch cable to rub on the cable housing at the firewall, prematurely wearing it out, and it overstrokes the pressure plate. A smaller radius won't allow the clutch to fully disengage.
A machined flat to allow the cable end to sit square. Other companies use too large a radius thus bending the end of cable. This unnecessary stress leads to broken clutch cables.
MM's machined the correct side of quadrant to make installation easier. One end of the clutch quadrant is machined thinner than the rest. This is to make installation much easier on pre 1994 cars that have a support bracket which complicates quadrant access. Most manufacturers machine the wrong side of the quadrant, which makes installation difficult and frustrating. This makes it easy to see who copies problems and who solves problems. The MM Clutch Quadrant is machined correctly, thus solving the installation problem. |

MMCL-14 Clutch Cable Insulator:
Protect your clutch cable with Maximum Motorsports Clutch Cable Insulator. This high-temperature resistant phenolic material insulates the clutch cable housing from the heat of the bellhousing. While road racing we discovered that the transmission bellhousing would heat soak to such an extent (We measured bellhousing temperatures of over 300 degrees) that the clutch cable outer housing was melting. This can cause intermittently high pedal effort, poor clutch release, and eventually complete failure of the clutch cable. The MM Clutch Cable Insulator greatly reduces heat soak into the clutch cable, prolonging its life. For installation a firewall Adjuster or adjustable clutch cable is required. |
