Fox Body 4 Cylinder Secondary Clutch Cable/Rod

[ForceFed4g63]

I have no idea what it's called, so hopefully someone here knows what it's called. I need the cable/rod that goes from the pivot arm to the clutch fork. I'm missing that piece and need one asap as my wife's primary car is down now and we need this one up and running.

I'll check the dealership as well, but I've been looking and haven't been able to find what the piece is actually called.


You can see where it goes below:

Yea actually just got back from there, they only had 2 foxes and they were both auto unfortunately.

When i went looking for auto 4 banger fox parts all they had was manuals. Cant win for lose with them. Try dons tomorrow maybe (call)

Think this may be it, not sure though, getting closer to finding out what it is lol. That seems damned expensive for a 3" cable.

Thats it I guess. I thought it was adjustable tho. Guess not.

Seems it's called the "dogbone cable." Going to call the dealership tomorrow. Also, big shoutout to SBM for helping me out with this, he's a lifesaver :bigthumb:

That is it. Should be available from any parts store but probably not stocked anywhere. I have had to replace them a few times.

try parks, theyre open until midnight

[ForceFed4g63]

I was reading that the ones they sell at parts stores are 2" and the proper length is 3". Do you know if that's true Bradley?

[Bradleyrj]

Can not confirm. I bought one from Napa several years ago and changed it on the side of the road. It got my car going so I didnt care how long it was. I have never heard of any differences in lengths for them.

Plan on doing a swap down the road but it won't be a 2.3 that's for sure lol. Right now I just need it up and running asap.

[usmcgunner]

If I would have known last week, I could have helped you, I went junkyard hopping from Beaufort, to Savannah, and found a few 5 speed foxes.

[ForceFed4g63]

Just need to get it to fit in the trunk and it would be cool.

Does anybody know if an aftermarket firewall adjuster will work on a 4 cylinder? I've got everything installed but the cable needs to be adjusted. Also, does anybody here have a firewall adjuster? I need one asap!

[03SVTCOBRA]

I have one you could test with, but i cant part with it completely.

Actually that would still help a lot, I picked one up at Park's tonight but I would like to see if it will solve my issues before I tear the packaging open. What's your schedule like tomorrow?
