    A quadrant takes all of about 5 min. to install. They're all pretty much the same reguardless of who makes one. Just go with whatever one you can get a good deal on.

    I have a spare Steeda billet aluminum quadrant, but it requires a firewall adjuster for your clutch cable.

    In fact, before I get ahead of myself do foxes have self-adjusting quadrants like SN-95's?

    i just replaced my cable with an adjustable cable, firewall adjustor and steeda quadrant. Got them all at lauren mountain mustang and lou explained to me and a friend how to put them in. Took about a half hour and the clutch feels AMAZING. Like night and day.

    Quadrants aren't hard to install, but there isn't anyone on the planet who can install one in 5 minutes! Not all quadrants are the same either, different ramping profiles, multiple hooks...all used for different reasons. I recomend the Steeda quick release quadrant and a good micro click firewall adjuster...STOCK CLUTCH CABLE!!!

    Here are some examples of what I use and install all the time...

    If you choose to go the firewall adjuster route, I have one in great shape, for $20. In Charleroi, but in Bethel Park oogling quite a bit.

    And why not? Even my big ass can get under the dash to change it out without having to remove anything to get to it.

    Pro Motion Powertrain makes a real nice one that includes reinforcement plate for the firewall that prevents firewall flex. I like mine from PMP, but I'm sure they are all good.
