Hi there,
Does anyone have pictures of what an unaltered clutch cable's adjustment nut set up should look like? I've searched forums and have the Haynes manual (page 71 photo isn't great). I saw this thread http://ftp.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=221402 But I'm looking for definitive original setup to serve as a baseline reference. The PO did something "creative" that I think is preventing us from adjusting the cable properly(if at all) I'm tring to figure out what might need to be done to return to normal. I also searched the PET, but couldn't locate the setup. Thanks in advance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Two 11 mm nuts locked against each other behind the wedge that goes into the clutch arm ...

Actually, 7mm nuts that use 11mm wrenches to tighten. I think the original setup was one 7mm locknut, but the two give a more secure adjustment.

Interesting quiz....
Can you name one other nut on the car that you can use when the clutch nut falls off? It's not an easy answer. |

Any of the nuts that hold the trunk torsion bar on.
What do I win? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Edit: Nevermind, that's an M6, I forgot. |

The rocker arm studs are M7, right? But that would not be a good idea...
