so i was laying under the car today looking for the clutch connection to the tranny.
found it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) i found the pully thing that the clutch cable goes around then i found where the cable should attach to and its not... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) so i can see the rod that comes out of the passenger of the tranny and there is a fork on the end and it has a slot cut in it. i can see that there should be some piece of metal the the clutch cable runs through and then there should be a bolt on the end im guessing. so does anyone know what the missing piece is and where i could pick one up? i have attached a picture of the fork coming out of the tranny one more thing that kinda worries me... when i pull on the lever coming out of the tranny it dosent budge should it? i made sure it was out of gear first, i dont know if that would make any difference so...is that normal? sorry the picture is such low quality its the best i could do. the rod/fork thing im talking about is pretty much in the center of the frame (IMG:http://www.geocities.com/shaggy_nine14/img_1596.jpg) -shaggy (sorry im logged on as my dad) |

The 911 part works just fine. The plastic, as mentioned, tends to fall apart... Usually, using the 911 part means you need to put some kind of spacer between the trunnion and the nut on the cable. A 1/2" long piece of tubing should do, maybe even 1/4".
Make sure to double-nut the adjustment. Run one nut on until the adjustment is correct, then run another one on and tighten them against each other. I have found that even Nyloc nuts will work loose on the clutch cable. Perhaps all-metal self-locking nuts would not, but using two regular nuts is easier. The nuts, BTW, are M7--an unusual size for our cars. If you use M8 nuts, they will apparently thread on, but the first time you press the clutch pedal they will shoot off across the garage and get lost. --DD |
