So my clutch cable on 74 2.0L is starting to fray at the pulley. The fraying is occurring where the cable exits the "top side" of the pulley as it goes towards the adjusting nut. Pretty much right at the pulley.
Is this the common area for these cables to break? Or is it out of adjustment in some way that caused this excessive wear? I can order a new cable from Pelican Parts for $16.50, but is there an alternative (better?) cable to order that is more durable? Any other items I would need to order with this (pulley parts, lock nuts, etc...)? And how hard of a job is this replacement? |
