Recently installed a new clutch cable. When looking at the the pull on the fork on the transmission, how far should the fork move? I was estimating about 3/4” to disengage the clutch. However when I had the car running there was no way to get the car into gear, grinding only. Cable is taught, do I have to tighten it down further or look for something else that might be causing my issue.
Haven’t tried tightening a second time as I melted my alternators wiring during the first start and shut her down. On a side note, new harness is ordered, was going to make my own decided 914rubber had a decent deal on harness which included plug ends and grommets. Hope part arrives and have her up to try again his weekend and take it for a spin. |
