[QUOTE="mnetwork, post: 16618884, member: 121358"] The spring is taking up the slack and pushing the fork out which keeps the pedal up. Obviously the real issue here is that this clutch does not have the same amount of travel (in and out) as the OEM clutch did... [i]The pedal moves more than this OE clutch requires.[/i] The placement of the hook can't possibly be the issue. If the adjustment of the cable (like putting it on the wrong hook) was the issue you wouldn't be able to fully engage and/or fully disengage. The clutch is fully engaging and fully disengaging, just doesn't take as much movement as the OEM one did. The spring just takes up the slack. As stated above the cable is an FRPP (Ford) adjustable cable. Hopefully the FRPP cable holds up like the original one did. It looked to be same quality and bracket fitment were just like the original cable. Not too worried. There really wasn't much modification required of the FRPP cable, actually less modification then I would have had to do on the OEM cable. There is a rubber block that you just pull off of the cable end and then a light sanding of the four tiny tabs that were holding that rubber block in place. The main thing here is that the OE clutch has less travel than the OEM clutch did. Personally I'd rather it not have less travel, but I've done many extended pulls since the clutch was put in last year and it is not slipping. We've also validated that it is fully disengaging which was my main concern. Impressive that the OEM and this OE clutch hold the 550-575wtq just fine. [/QUOTE]
