Yesterday I replaced all my clutch components and now I'm ready to put the cable on. My question would be once I thread the cable up to the pedal cluster end how much do I turn the clevis down on the cable before I connect it to the pedal end?
By the way...on a previous post I wanted to know if it was easier to take the whole lump out or just the transmission. I pulled the transmission only and went out and in without a problem. Thanks in advance all!! |

When I did mine, I just went with approximately where it was on the old cable. Do not remember exactly where that was. You are doing adjustment from the rear so I do not think the pedal side matters as much. Maybe someone has a better answer.

Thanks again for responding! |

Your Haynes details the specified length for the cable protruding at the Clevis end. Don't know where my manual is right now.

Would be about where the old cable was if it didn't stretch and break. Make sure you install the ground back at the transmission, otherwise your clutch cable will be the net route for ground and the cable will appear to stretch, and snap. The best way to adjust is to drive it, and adjust as necessary to get the release point where you want it. You'll know real quick where it needs to go.

Thanks you very much for the info Mark...it's much appreciated as I should now invest in a manual. I'm now convinced too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
