floodbkt,
Replacing the cable is not too difficult, maybe a couple of hours if you don't run into any other problems. I did.
The cable itself is pretty straightforward. If I recall, the most frustrating part was reattaching the pin/trunion in the tunnel up near the pedal cluster.
My largest problem with the job was the PO had not kept the cable adjusted properly. As the clutch wore, the freeplay at the pedal went away, and the cable itself was under constant tension. This probably lead to the cable's premature failure.
What's worse is that the arm at the bottom of the clutch actuator shaft (I am making up these terms as I go along) was rusted to the actuator shaft. It should rotate slightly on that shaft. It was a bear to get off!
The good news is that the pedal became much easier to operate, takeoffs were smooth, and overall shifting seemed to improve.
Hopefully you won't run into this same problems I did. I think there is a tech article on replacing your clutch cable and adjusting it on Pelican's web site that will help.
Good luck.
Tim
