I have tried covering my clutch cable wheel and cable several different ways but nothing great....just changed my cable and it seems a shame to leave it out in the open like it is.....any good ideas to keep the road grit out? I think Mikey should be working on this but who am to say? Welcome ideas and it just makes sense to protect this vital area from contamination.....thank you for your thoughts,,,,

Yes that was kinda my point about horizontal rollers,the road grime with collect in that area and has no where to go, the stock roller mount will collect less if you don't use grease and reduce cable wear @ that point because that's the weak point due to a fairly tight radius ,the delron roller (914rubber) is a great update as the stock nylon one wears out @ the centre bush and loads the action further...as my old one did.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Horizontal makes sense on a race car that has been severely lowered to aid ground clearnace. Not an issue on cars at or near stock ride height. No grease on cable. A dab of grease at the wheel center pivot. Wheel needs to rotate. If you're repeatedly breaking cables -- make sure you have a zero ohm ground connection between body and engine/trans. Otherwise the clutch cable becomes the ground and drastically shortens cable life. |
