      Advancements in Design.

      Ford's factory equalizer bar clutch release system was never a good idea because it simply wasn't strong enough or mechanically engineered to function with ease and smoothness, especially over time. This is why Ford ultimately went to cable clutch release systems in 1974 and later model Mustangs. The cable is linear, the cable is smooth and the cable is purely better. This kit includes a heavy-duty lined clutch cable, providing you with a smoother clutch pedal. In this kit, you will have the ability to finely tune the clutch cable with ease. The stock clutch pedal is reused with an adjustable bracket. Modern Driveline even designed the system to be compatible with both manual and most power brake boosters. Using the stock clutch pedal, a bolt-on adjustable pedal bracket provides the pulling action without welding. The firewall plate mounts behind the brake master or factory brake booster. and is equipped with an easy-to-access adjustment that requires no tools.

      Why an MDL Kit?

      "Using the stock clutch pedal, a bolt-on adjustable pedal bracket provides the pulling action without welding.The firewall plate mounts behind the brake master or factory brake booster. The firewall is equipped with an easy-to-access adjustment that requires no tools. Modern Driveline makes it easy to go from equalizer bar in your 1971-73 Mustang or Cougar to cable clutching in an afternoon.We show you how on the ""Rebuilding Generations - 1971 Mustang convertible.To make this conversion easier to see, we removed the Mustang's instrument panel and dashboard.It is suggested you remove the instrument cluster and dashboard for easier access.". Not all Kits are created equal. There are no extras to buy to install this upgrade.

      FAQs

      Q. Will this work with headers? A. If you must use headers, then shorties are best. with at least an inch of minimum clearance in the tightest spaces. We don't recommend using a clutch cable with headers; the heat from them may melt the outer casing and restrict movement of the cable, causing poor engagement/disengagement or fail completely. We suggest an internal throw-out bearing; this solution allows you to run whatever headers you wish.
