Ford Clutch Cable converts the action of the pedals to sharp shifts of gears and provides the driver with direct control on a mile-by-mile basis. In 1913, Ford became the first to use the moving assembly line, and it has continued to enable the company to build cars in large numbers fast and sell them below budgets, with new, high-performance powertrains like the EcoBoost providing more power with each drop of fuel, and in-car technologies like SYNC reacting to voice commands letting drivers playlist or invoke navigation features without losing concentration, and the Co-Pilot360 sensors keeping an eye on the traffic, so the F-150 Lightning can be the first car with a 10. Within its existing line, Clutch Cable features a hardened steel core wrapped in a smooth polymer coating and Ford sets the length and bend radius to ensure that engagement remains sharp over decades of rush-hour starts. It translates to all Ford drivers experiencing instant bite due to the inability of Clutch Cable to stretch, fray, and be moist and the pedal feel remains light despite a myriad of stop-and-go cycles. The Clutch Cable in the bay takes straight lines, meaning that the Ford owner can row gears without slack, grind, or leg strain, and it avoids the spongy effect of the aging hydraulics. Normal driving wear causes the Clutch Cable to be hardly scuffed, and this makes the lifespan go deep into the odometer before one even considers changing the part.
