1990 gt mustang cluth pedal clicking need help

[blueoval351]

I have a 1990 mustang. this morning When I went to start it the clutch pedal broke. I am not 100 sure what it is, but I have tracked it down to the part. First off when I say broke I mean once it got half way down makes a load bang and looses all resiance and goes to the floor. Then I have to pull the pedal up, and it goes click click click all the way up.

Looking up under the dash there is a little box that that has a shaft coming out that looks to be linkage in a way, from the pedal and the clutch cable. My question is first off what is that part called so I can get a new one if that is the case?
And is there a way to repair it. I am tight on funds and would like to do this cheap, or possibly free.

Any thoughts?

Thank you all for your time.

If I'm not mistaken the "box" your talking about is just what the clutch pedal runs thrue to to get the cable/quadrant up to the firewall and away from the brake booster ect.

I think your problem is the pressure plate.

after being told I am an idiot I now know the box was just a switch, there in major linkage under there and my problem was by the gas pedal. it is the ato ajudting cluth mechenism.
This shit is a pain in the ass. won;t have the part till tuesday, on top of that it is taking forever.
Neet to drop the steering colum. remove pedels. just can't wait to be rollon again.

This reply may be too late to help but I would personally get rid of the self adjusting clutch quadrant and replace the whole setup with a Steeda (or similar) clutch quadrant and a firewall adjuster. It's nice to be able to pop the hood and make a few turns at the firewall versus the whole push down, pull up (it's been so long since I got rid of it I don't remember the proceedure...) Good luck with your repairs.
