I was just telling my son that I knew the clutch cable was going to snap!
On my way home on Friday, it snapped going into 3rd gear! AAA to the rescue! I have 2 cables on the way so I can have a spare in the car with all the connections. Of course, this is not the first time this has happened to me and you would think I would have learned the first time.... Has anyone actually changed theirs on the side of the road before???

If you’re handy with a manual - can be driven home without the clutch. Traffic lights add to the challenge but it’s do-able.
