I'm preparing to drop my engine. While disconnecting the clutch cable yesterday, I noticed the plastic sheath was cracked in multiple places. I'm planning to replace it while the engine is out.
My concern is that it's not very old. 4 years & about 30,000 miles. I forget what brand it was. Are there any brands of clutch cable that hold up better than this? Or is this just normal for our 914's. Thanks |

Bob, didn't you just have your engine out? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Do you know the source of the engine oil leak?
I have a stock cable, not a Terry. Works/ looks fine. |
