Hey Guys,
I'm curious if my clutch cable is out of threads at the tranny end. I've drawn what can best be described as the best pen-paper drawing ever. This illustrious illustration illustrates the indignant state of my clutch linkage exactly. The arm that goes to the clutch is all the way against the back of the cable. If I move the arm closer to the end of the threads, what does that do? (to the right in the picture) If I move the arm closer to the back of the car, what does that do? (to the left in the picture) I'd like your guys input because the haynes manual kinda glosses over this part. If I'm out of threads, does that mean I'll be replacing the clutch soon? Thanks guys!

I ran into a similar situation years ago with a friend's 914. We added spacers under the adjusting nut which allowed limited clutch functioning. Took the cable off and found the fork adrift signaling a need to pull the transmission to replace the fork cup. We found that the plastic cup in the clutch fork (pivot point) had crushed beyond effectiveness requiring tighting up of the clutch cable beyond the limits of the thread. Did the trick for his problem, not sure if it matches your's.
Anyone else run into this? |
