so I have a 2003 mustang cobra ,
and recently got the transmission ,
and the clutch fixed.
when the homie who sold it to me drives it ,
he drives it like perfect.
when I drive it . It wont act up at first .
give it 20 minutes and you'll hear the faintest
grind in the gears and then it will start acting up.
when I shift to neutral , frequently it gets stuck
and the only way I can move it again is if I turn off the car and put it to first.
i'm pretty sure thats not good for the car but I can't afford staying stuck in the middle of the street.
I wont be able to drive it for the day untill the next when it acts like normal but then it starts acting up again , on me at least.
my friend who sold it to me says he put in the cable that connects to the clutch on himself
and he "thinks" he put it right.
most likely i'm going to end up changing the cable but any suggestions?

ey b0ss
Did he change the throwout bearing? If it's fugged that could cause what you're describing
>>15238729
Does it have an aftermarket shifter? Could have been improperly installed and isn't engaging properly.

Hows the trailer park life op?
>>15238729
im not sure because I didn't see him change it my friend .
I think im not shifting properly or something.
too late or too early .

No. If you can't get it in gear from neutral then it's fucked. Either the throwout bearing is gone or. more likely, the short throw shifter was improperly installed.
Unless you're a complete dipshit and trying to go into first from a roll. Sad if that's your issue as it means the car is going to be wrapped around a tree soon. Oh well. It'll make mine worth more.

Also the clutch cable is self adjusting. It either works or it doesn't. Assuming it's an OEM unit.
>>15238729
This is what happens when you buy a manual, but don't know how to drive a manual.
>>15238729
Did you try actually using the clutch at any point
>>15238758
Fix and Repair are the same word
>>15239067
How is it self adjust? Not op but wasn't aware there's self adjusting cables in auto
>>15238761
shifting too late or too early would just make the car jerk around and wouldn't be causing the issues you're having.
You're not going to kill your car just for shifting inconsistently as long as you're not trying to go from 2nd to 3rd at 1rpm or something stupid

its manual not auto
>>15238729
Does a 2003 even use a clutch cable? If it is hydraulic, it might be low on fluid.

Dont be an ass. Nearly all cars use a self adjusting hydraulic clutch. Ford is just shit.

You cant adjust the engagement of a clutch on anything but old shitboxes you dense fuck. You honestly are retarded.

M9 that's not a self adjusting cables, self adjusting would be like the e-brake

Wow. How can one be so ignorant?
>>15240968
Well I'll be damned, excuse me for not knowing that Ford mustangs didn't use clutch cables.
>>15241123
If you are referring to the bite point of the clutch, most hydraulic clutches have a rod with nuts that can be turned to adjust how high it is.
