These are "while I'm in there" tasks. Both of my cables are intact and were functioning when my car went up on stands. I have new Terry Cable units for both clutch and throttle.
I have done searches on both and have a general idea of what to expect, but I do have a couple of questions. - Is it advantageous to do one or the other first? - I know that the clutch cable runs through a solid tube all the way up to the pedal assemble. What about the throttle cable? I have read that it can get wrapped around the clutch cable, and I can't imagine how that would happen if it had a solid tube. - I have read mixed opinions on using a fish string. I typically use weed-eater string for running wires and such. Would it make the job easier to tape some to the end of the old cables when I pull them out? Thanks, Ken |
