My throw is starting to feel notchy again, which means it’s time to replace yet again. In 15 years this will be #6. I know Mark was looking at offering a better one but never saw the upshot.
So how often do you replace yours? It would sure be nice if they were self adjusting like old shoe type brakes. |

Yes now I have some time I will be getting back on that one.
The problem I personally experienced was the ground strap on the top of the transmission was corroded. The shortest path for current then became the clutch cable. Mine did that and finally broke as it was on a longer drive. So it's not just a cable issue. Might check that ground. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Found, and replaced bad transmission ground strap. Next cable lasted about 8 years until vehicle left my care. The ground cable replacement solved a host of other gremlins that had been plauging me for months. Sluggish cranking -- fixed. Intermittent ignition isssues -- fixed. |
