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. |

I replace them whenever they break or are damaged which in 21 years and so many 914s I have lost count I think has been a total of twice, with one of those times being related to a header setup i installed that melted the cable.
Granted they get brand new cables before i put them on the road for the first time. One thing I always do when installing the tranny though is to make sure the clutch fork pivot is properly shimmed (which it never seems to be) I find this greatly improves pedal feel and keeps from having to over tighten the cable to get proper operation out of the clutch, and may help long term with the stretching/breaking issue. |
