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)

Jim - Unless you set it aside before snapping the pic, it looks like you're missing the metal sleeve the goes in between the roller and the stud in the console (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I bought one of those '914 Rubber.com' Delrin rollers from Glenn Sager at the most recent All Porsche Swap Meet ... it's nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |

Upon closer inspection of the wire where it partially broke and unraveled; it appears that there was a serious amount of grit between the wires and around the roller. Seems like the assembly would benefit from being enclosed in a rubber boot of some type. Went over and looked at another 914's roller this am and found serious build up of oily dirt. This is definately a part to regulary inspect and clean. |
