For the past week or so I've been having to adjust my clutch every couple of days, the screws are backing off and have to be tightened up again.
The lock nut must not be holding it's spot like it should be. Should I buy another lock nut, I guess just any other one would work? Suggestions! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/209.85.62.26-11654-1319232349.1.gif) |

Double nutting the cable should be all it takes. When your nuts are locked together properly they won't move. I would start thinking about a new cable or check the clutch tube for fatigue at the firewall or at the tunnel mounting bracket. Do it while you can not when it finally breaks and leaves you stranded.
BTW: I have a stage II Kennedy PP with a puck style kevlar disc. I have had to adjust my clutch cable a couple times this summer. I think I may need a new cable soon. |
