Throttle and Clutch Cable Replacement, Through the tunnel we go! Options

70 914-6 - all original

All,

I purchased two NOS cables - throttle and clutch.

The throttle and clutch cables are still in the car - I was thinking of typing a string to each - pull them out and then use the string to pull them back through to avoid getting them wrapped around something.

Any advice as to this process? Asking those that have done this wrong in the past (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I just did both on my 72-4 cyl. I did not tie anything to the ends and both came
in and out easily. I think you risk having the string catch on something so I just went without anything. The one tool I would recommend is a flexible grab tool. This gives you a way to grab the end down by the pedals and pull it towards you to add the locking
Nut and clevis. Leave the other ends just hanging so you can pull the cables to do the end installs. The clutch cable I got was about 3/4 of an inch longer… so I cheated more on the pedal end for the clutch. The accelerator was ok. I shot some wd40 at the pedal pivot points and greased all the lever points while I was in there. Everything is silky smooth now.

Good luck!
