The 3rd gear lockout is driving me nuts. I was just on Lethal Performance website and I didn't see any mention of the Fiore adjuster that everyone is talking about.

They do have a Maximum Motorsports complete kit that's $165 :bigeyes:

Anybody have a link to the stuff discussed in this thread?

I've been using the steeda double hook quad and steeda firewall adjuster with ford cable.

I see the Steeda kit for $105 on their site. Is it correct that this kit comes with a firewall adjuster, quadrant, and cable?

I'm assuming this is not the Ford OEM cable?

I put that in at least 10 years ago. I have had no issues so far. I did reuse the factory cable

Well I got the Steeda kit installed. The stock plastic quadrant/adjuster removal was the worst part of the job. P I T A.

The firewall adjuster wasn't a walk in the park either, but with a 1/4" ratchet, two extensions, and a swivel I was able to do it somewhat quickly.

I did use the included Steeda cable. I kept my Ford cable as a backup!! What exactly is the problem area with the aftermarket cables? Do they break commonly? Stretch? Don't operate as smoothly?

So far it feels a lot different, but it does seem to hit 3rd gear a lot more easily. :COOL:
