Transmission / Clutch Help - 93 Mustang

[HECDOGGIE]

I recently installed my motor, clutch, tranny etc back in my 93.
I went to install the clutch cable and i notice NO TENSION on the clutch fork.. its just kinda loose..... suggestions to what this could be before i pull everything back off ?


Thanks,

Hector

Did you check to make sure that the cable didnt come off the pedal, and the fork is in the throw-out bearing?

yes...and yes.....

( unless i installed something wrong, im guessing there is only one way though)

is the fork also in the pivot?

Make sure the fork is on the little ball in the bellhousing.

The fork is in the pivot.... i willl re-analyze all the above when i get home ...
I stepped away last night when i noticed the problem. I usually work until i hit a bump in the road then walk away.. LOL

Did you put the throw out bearing on the clutch fork correctly?

it appears to only go on one way. ?

I will look for a picture of the correct way and compare.

Two things to check.

Is the slack before you attach the cable? If so, there should be. The clutch fork will wiggle around in there without tension from the cable.

Two, if the cable is attached and there is slack, do you have the stock clutch quadrant still? If so, pull up on the clutch pedal to reset it.

Did you route the cable through the hole on drivers side of the bellhousing? The collar on the cable should stop it from going through the hole further, causing you to have to pry on the clutch fork and pull the cable to the fork

I did... i can move the fork (pre-cable) all the way to front and back .... i assume the tension should be to the back....???

it should be back towards the rear of the car, and move maybe half way before you have to start prying on it to get the cable in.

does everything in the pic I posted above look like your setup?

Upon further review... i may have it backwards..

I will pull the transmission ( soon ) and flip the throwout bearing around . I may order a new one while im at it.

Thanks guys!
