I used to have one that would eat clutch cables ( busted tube coming out of the tunnel ) When I had to stop I'd just slip it out of gear, and turn the car off. Time to go, put it in third and turn the key.
I put a Neal hydro clutch padal and slave in it and never had a problem again, I loved the clutch in that 914. |

so you have a loose nut, a stripped nut, one nut that wont stay where you put it, or are you having problems with both your nuts?
I would say get some new nuts, nylock and go from there. Rich |

I can't be on both ends at once.. I heard a quiet sound... I think it may be the tube.
Can you repair a tube by jambing something in the tunnel to hold it in place so you can drive to a repair thingy? M |

chopsticks work great...
four of them with twist ties all over it should work put it in angles like this /\ \/ but the middle section should touch the clutch tube. bubble gum might work either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) b |

Did you use one of the standard 13mm wrench-size nuts? Betcha did--sounds like what happened to me when I did that. You neet to use an M7 nut, 11mm wrench size. Two of them, tightened against each other, and that sucka won't go anywhere! I tired Nyloc, but it didn't hold well enough. --DD |
