Any particular reason the clutch cable would unravel at the top of the roller ? Should the roller spin freely when reasembled ?
A few pics of what I'm looking at... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

I just replaced my clutch cable after seeing the frayed bits sticking out at the roller. When I took it off, it was actually WORSE at the end just inside the housing. The cable bits broke at the friction point where the housing ends in a metal circle and were lumped up inside the housing, out of sight completely.
So, if you see any cable fray at all it is worth a closer look or quick replacement. I went with the Terry Cable version. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Seems like a boot could really protect this area----anyone seen one ? |

Seems like a boot could really protect this area----anyone seen one ? Originally there was a boot that goes on the end of the clutch cable where it mounts to the pulley bracket. It is seals the cable to the housing to keep dirt from inside the cable housing. A PITA to get over the threaded end of the cable. Jim |
