Add style to your engine compartment with an aftermarket pedal assembly or outpace the competition with adjustable ratio racing pedal assemblies fine tuned to your driving style. To release the cable first disconnect it at the clutch housing end. Too little clutch pedal play leads to clutch slip but too much clutch pedal play can lead to clutch drag.

The pedal end of the cable fits between a toothed quadrant and pawl located at the top of the pedal. There is a threaded sleeve with two nuts on it at the protruding end of the cable. When you press down on the clutch pedal it causes the cable to pull on the linkage so that the clutch becomes disengaged. Many fords such as the fiesta cortina mk5 and escort mk3 have a self adjusting clutch cable.

Cables can also loosen or stretch from use so that the clutch doesn t fully release when the pedal is pushed all the way in. Then find the cable nipple where it sticks out between the quadrant and pawl. If your clutch system doesn t automatically adjust or there s an issue with your clutch linkage in an automatic adjusting system you may find and possibly fix the problem. The clutch cable is what connects the clutch pedal and clutch linkage of the transmission together.

The clearance is the difference between the cable measurement when the operating lever is at rest and when it is pushed inwards. Once the clutch is disengaged you can shift the gears of the transmission safely. Loose cables can often be adjusted but some may need to be replaced.
