I had just installed a fresh 289 built by Jan Morris at Precision Engine Machine. Jan fitted my 289 with a new Hays flywheel, clutch, and three-finger pressure plate, a 3,000-pound monster designed for drag racing.When it was time to take my 289 out for a spin, you can imagine my disappointment when the clutch equalizer bar folded over like a wet piece of pasta. I ordered a new equalizer bar from my Ford dealer and it, too, promptly bent over, rendering the Hays clutch useless and stopping my fastback right in its tracks. I had the car towed up to Belair Phillips 66, where Mike Smigielski welded reinforcement iron to my equalizer bar. I never had a problem with the clutch again, except for extreme left knee joint erosion in traffic.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mustangandfords.com\/how-to\/drivetrain\/mump-0811-modern-drivelines-clutch-cable-conversion-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read More Here&#8230;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick read all about the Modern Drivelines Cable Clutch Linkage<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":37134,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[413,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clutch-cable-kits-videos","category-magazine-articles"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/17"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
