That says it all. We weren't successful installing the new accelerator cable without getting it somehow twisted / conflicting with the clutch cable.
Looking for more tips beyond those already discussed here in other threads on this issue on how to avoid this. We should pull it back out to the firewall and try again, I presume, but we are 100% blind, just pushing it into the tube and looking for it to come out near the pedal. Is it at all possible or not to be SURE that there is no conflict, and if so, then please, by all means, describe how to do it. Thanks very much! With best regards, M.i.M.

This has never happened to anyone ever in the history of 914 ownership....except maybe half the boards members.
If you unhook the accel cable at the pedal, hold it and push the clutch pedal , you will feel it get pulled, typically it wrapped once around the clutch cable and you can try going around the cable in both directions, one direction will free the cable. When you get it all back you will need to adjust the accel cable again, it's too long now, |
