  Q: How to Properly Disconnect the Release Lever Clutch Cable During Transmission Removal or Clutch Pedal Component Replacement on Ford Mustang?

  A:

  Proper installation methods must be followed when disconnecting the clutch release lever cable because failure to do so leads to both component damage along with system breakdown. Start by detaching the instrument panel steering column cover using its screws and then disconnect the instrument panel reinforcement despite its screws. Rise the clutch pedal to maximum height before removing the front seat assembly. The clutch release lever cable should be unclipped from the clutch pedal adjuster quadrant before removing the screws and releasing the clutch cable through the hood. When installing new cables on 4.6L vehicles it is necessary to also remove the bolt together with the clutch release lever cable bracket attached to the Brake Master Cylinder. Before work begins lift the vehicle and take away the screw holding the clutch release lever cable clamp then remove both the screw and dust shield. The vehicle demands that you disconnect the clutch release lever cable from its connection to the clutch release lever using your hands before you extract the clutch release lever cable from inside the vehicle by removing its retaining C-clip. The installation of the new cable requires performing the reversed operating steps.

The first step to service the clutch cable requires raising the clutch pedal until maximum height before removing the front seat.

Next open the hood to release the clutch release cable screws before detachment. 4.6L vehicle owners need to discard both the bolt that attaches the bracket alongside the clutch release lever cable to the Brake Master Cylinder.
