Hi guys,
I have a 86 mustang lx 5.0, with a T-5 transmission, here is my problem.
5 years ago I replaced the clutch, & pressure plate, it has the up-graded T-5.
At this time, I must push the clutch clear to the floor to shift, and at times this is difficult. When it is cold it shifts fine, but when it heats up it is a monster to shift. It has not been abused and my wife cannot drive this beast due to the shifting problem.
Please advise me of anything I can do to fix it.
Thanks,
Theron Greene

since no one has replied i will make these recomendations .... disconnects you clutch cable as check and see if you have any cuts or sharp bends in it ..... next check if the cable moves freely .... if it doesn,t go to the local motorcycle shop and get some cable lube .... you put this metal clamp on the cable and you connect the spray can to the clamp and the lubricant only goes on the cable ..... if the cable checks out ok then i would check out the the bearing retainer for gouges possibly made by the throw out bearing ..... it should slide back and forth with no binding

You can buy an adjustable cable and quadrant. The stock quadrant is plastic and the teeth that you adjust it buy break or get stripped off over time. To adjust your clutch cable pick up on the pedal until you feel it kinda pop then push the clutch to the floor and repeat this process about 5 time. See if this helped. Also like anyother cable they strech and need to be replaced over time.
