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? |

So last weekend, I adjusted my new clutch cable after 1 week of driving. I ended up tightening the nut in a couple full turns. Now this week, it feels like it needs adjusted some more already.
I assume I should just be adjusting the nut a couple more full turns in each time until it stops stretching? Also, I believe I should be feeling clutch engagement/disengagement fairly highly on the clutch pedal? The shifting is good, but getting into first gear at stop stop is hit/miss. Sometimes super smooth and sometimes alot of jiggling to get it into gear. Also, second gear seems a little rough to get into at times. I'm guess I should have a look at my firewall bushing this weekend also. |
