Need help!!Clutch cable rattle noise

fricker · 06-20-2008, 02:10 AM

I've found out where the noise is coming from. by the way its a 1970 911.
The cable is rubbing on the cv joint!!
I've also noticed that the cable seems to be missing the plastic bushing that is positioned where the guide clamp is! the cable is loose in the guide clamp and I was also would like to know if the last guide nearest to the clutch arm is open or if it is a closed guide? My guide is open and I'm not sure if a piece broke off. Any pics of this area or info would help me a lot. What should I do?

Your differential cover housing is worn through. There should be a boss with a hole. As far as I know there is no plastic bushing which could have prevented the whole problem.
I assume you have (just what I had a few years ago) a boss with an open end which now allows the cable to come out. I used a piece of metal secured by one of the differential mounting studs to keep thinks in place. This worked for years until I replaced the cover. Your other option is to have it welded by someone capable of welding the alloy, Mag I think.

Thats what I was thinking. I just checked the porsche parts catalog and saw that all of them are like that- a closed boss. But I was wondering if there was a chance for my type of transmission being a 1970 911 type?
Any pics of this type of trans would be a live saver cuz I'm getting the feeling that I might have to done the clutch.
