    At the fork.

      Adjustable cables are junk. Not saying that's your problem but they are known for failing. Run a stock Ford cable with aluminum quadrant and firewall adjuster. I've never experienced clutch fork problems but adjustable cable problems are common.

        hmm. I remember reading/hearing about some after market cables were junk.
        and it was best to go with a Ford cable. I think the problem was with cable housing breaking down, not the cable stretching. Do you see/feel any wrinkles in the black cable housing?

            Tell those clowns to promote my ass. Lol

            And I had a extra adjustable so I threw it on there..

            It only acts up when it's cold. If that matters

              Check the entire cable for wear! I had a similar problem in my '94 GT and the cable housing was worn. The cable housing would flex and bend at the worn point, and not support the cable properly. This was the cause of many headaches. A new stock cable fixed this in a hurry.

              When the quadrants break, you get the ratcheting sound of death for the stock plastic ones. I know all about this too.

              While you are replacing the cable add a firewall adjuster too. It's easy and a very nice item to have.
