Just did both. Found the clutch return spring broken so I also rebuilt the cluster. Apparently some time in the past, the clutch cable clevis broke and one of the PO's had it brazed back together. It was slightly mis-aligned, so the clevis pin was driven through the clevis. I had to completely remove the cluster, unscrew the cable from the clevis, and drive the pin out with a pin punch. You 'should' be able to disconnect the clutch clevis and throttle cable ball socket with the cluster in place by reaching through the access holes, though having small hands will help. Cables should just push up through the tubes from the engine bay. Make sure to grind any material off of the crimped area of the cable end that protrudes above the diameter of the fitting so it doesn't bind as it goes through the tube. Highly recommend the Terry clutch cable, don't know about their throttle cable. As an additional note, McMaster Carr has metric clevises, and P/N 2448k46 is identical with the part that was in my car. Don't know if it is identical to the Porsche part. The Porsche clevis pin appears to be surface hardened, and I'm not sure if the McMaster pin is.
