Description

MDL Clutch Cable kit

Ford’s factory equalizer bar clutch release system was never a good idea
because it simply wasn’t strong enough or mechanically engineered to function with ease and smoothness, especially over time.
This is why Ford ultimately went to cable clutch release systems in 1974 and later model Mustangs.
    The cable is linear, the cable is smooth and the cable is purely better.

NOTE: This kit does not work with any bell housing that does not have a cable mounting provision and is at least 7″ deep.

Fits: 1971-73 Mustang/Cougar

Features:

  • Clears Most Headers
  • Heavy Duty Lined Clutch Cable

Includes:

  • Detailed Instructions
  • mounting brackets
  • a firewall grommet
  • mounting hardware
  • Bellhousing cable exit cover with gasketmdl-forum-logo

 

A Modern Driveline clutch cable kit is the perfect solution for T5, TKO & TKX cable-operated bellhousing conversions.  

Using the stock clutch pedal, a bolt-on adjustable pedal bracket provides the pulling action without welding.
The firewall plate mounts behind the brake master or factory brake booster.  The firewall is equipped with an easy-to-access adjustment that requires no tools.
The clutch cable is not ‘just some fox body cable’, but one specifically designed for the early Mustang to fit ahead of the exhaust that then follows the oil pan flange.
The cable housing is kept in place with mounting hardware using one of the oil pan bolts. Then connected to the cable fork with a fully adjustable rod end.

 

A Modern Driveline clutch cable kit will convert your old mechanical linkage and provide you with a modern cable clutch.
This kit will fit any T5, TKO, TKX  Tremec transmission when installed in your classic 1971-1973 Mustang.

Any of these late-model transmissions can be swapped into your Mustang as long as a cable-compatible bellhousing or scatter shield is used.
This kit includes a heavy-duty lined clutch cable, providing you with a smoother clutch pedal. In this kit, you will have the ability to finely tune the clutch cable with ease.
The stock clutch pedal is reused with an adjustable bracket. Modern Driveline even designed the system to be compatible with both manual and most power brake boosters.

Using the stock clutch pedal, a bolt-on adjustable pedal bracket provides the pulling action without welding.
The firewall plate mounts behind the brake master or factory brake booster. and is equipped with an easy-to-access adjustment that requires no tools.

  “This is a Complete kit.
……….Not all Kits are created equal.
…………….There are no extras to buy to install this upgrade”.

Modern Driveline makes it easy to go from equalizer bar in your 1971-73 Mustang or Cougar to cable clutching in an afternoon.
We show you how on the “Rebuilding Generations – 1971 Mustang convertible.

To make this conversion easier to see, we removed the Mustang’s instrument panel and dashboard.
It is suggested you remove the instrument cluster and dashboard for easier access.
