Just broke the second of two MMS replacement clutch cables in 9 months. Have a 3 hook aluminum quadrant, firewall adjuster and Spec Stage 2+ clutch with reduced pedal pressure; it's nowhere near as hard as a stock clutch. Both times, the cable snapped at the quadrant end. Supposedly the MMS cables are equal to OEM Ford for strength, they just don't have the "plug" on the firewall end. Is that right or should I get a Ford cable and cut off theplug?

Make sure the quadrant and cable are aligned. If the quadrant moves the cable will ride on the corner and it'll cut the cable. I went through that with a UPR quadrant.

Usually you need some washers at the pivot shaft of the quadrant to keep it lined up.

I switched to all MM KIT from just the cable MM and quadrant was BBK I don’t feel a difference . I don’t know what all this talk about MM cable , quadrant , adjuster, and lube it up works better , seems the same .
