So I got my clutch cable installed yesterday, and it works great except for it is binding against the shift rod, which causes resistance when moving the lever. Can anyone tell me the correct routing of the shift cable so it will not contact the shift rod? Thanks in advance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

If the clutch cable is binding against the shift rod, then it is likely that the clutch tube has broken loose from the inside of the center tunnel. Dig out all of your flashlights and mirrors, and remove the inspection plates in the top of the tunnel. Try to get a look at the clutch tube while you press the pedal--it should not move at all, and I'm betting that it is.
For a cut-away (literally!!) view of what goes inside the tunnel, see: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/9...nter_tunnel.htm Repair involves cutting open the tunnel and welding or clamping the tube into place again. Remember, you'll be welding right next to fuel lines and electrical cables and so on. Being very very careful and having fire extinguishers handy is the way to survive that. --DD |
