On my 4th clutch cable-HELP!!

[ROADWARRIORSVT]

Ever since I put on the UPR quadrant (& firewall adjuster), I've been snapping the clutch cable about every two months. The first pick-up hook severs the cable. Tried grinding down the edges and dipping quadrant & cable in Plastic dip (coating) No good. Just installed my 4th cable. I've also got washers keeping the quad. spaced.

Anybody else had this happed? Any help appreciated!

Are you using an adjustable cable? If so, buy the OEM unit from Ford and you shouldn't have any problems then. I have the same set-up, UPR quad and adjuster with the stock replacement cable from Ford and mine hasn't snapped (knock on wood).
