Broken Clutch Cable
 Coming home from Hayward, my clutch cable in my 72 911 broke. I carefully got the car home. Is there any special tricks I need to know when I change the cable?Bill |

Very simple but dirty job. Here is a link to the article on this board: http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/911_clutch_cable/911_clutch_cable.htm
It does help to have small hands to disconnect the cable from the pedal mechanism.

Bill,
1. Be sure to have moly grease such as Valvoline #986, and a new clevis and pin/clip on hand when you start the repair! 2. Lubricate the new cable about 18" at a time as you feed the new cable into the body guide tube. 3. Be SURE that the Bowden tube (black plastic-covered sheath from firewall to transaxle mounting point) is fully seated at the 'dimple' in the firewall before adjusting freeplay at pedal. Good luck!

I did this job in my 72 and it took me about 1.5 hours.
It's pretty easy. |
