Right after I bought my latest '73 914, I went to adjust the clutch and I noticed the cable was a bit frayed. I ordered the stuff from Pelican, it's not here and I tempted fate. Well, it broke on the way home today from cars 'n coffee and it made for an interesting and frustrating afternoon. Of course, all the cable end parts are gone too, and I couldn't find anything in the street. More to order from Pelican.
Moral of the story: inspect your clutch cable routinely, and if it is AT ALL coming apart, it's GOING to break. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

No pic, but go are far in as you can without restricting the movement.
It's about 20 turns or so. It's really best to put it in as far as you can because you have loads (lots and lots) of adjustment under the car, and you really won't want to stick your head down there again any time soon once you put the whole console etc back together....then take your aleve and beer. |
