Any particular reason the clutch cable would unravel at the top of the roller ? Should the roller spin freely when reasembled ?
A few pics of what I'm looking at... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s)

I just replaced my clutch cable after seeing the frayed bits sticking out at the roller. When I took it off, it was actually WORSE at the end just inside the housing. The cable bits broke at the friction point where the housing ends in a metal circle and were lumped up inside the housing, out of sight completely.
So, if you see any cable fray at all it is worth a closer look or quick replacement. I went with the Terry Cable version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Exactly same place where mine frayed and broke. Did you find foreign material in the wire too ? Seems like a boot could really protect this area----anyone seen one ? |
