Ok, since i'm simply making a few minor repairs on the engine i figured i'd replace that streched out clutch cable. can't seem to get the cable out of the pedal connection. do i need to take the cluster out? Isn't there someone who rebuilds the clusters on the board?

any tips on removing the cable and/or the cluster?

Unless it's like my PO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Apparently the clevis split so someone brazed it back together, slightly misaligned. They then drove the clevis pin in. I had to unbolt the cluster, cut the cable just behind the fitting and take the assembly to the vice. Used a pin punch and several (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) with a 16 oz. hammer to drive the clevis pin out.

As an additional note, sometines when the fitting is swaged on to the end of the cable some of the metal will exrtude out beyond the diameter of the fitting. Make sure you grind this off to help prevent the fitting binding in the clutch cable tube.
