Hello all....I have been tackling a clutch cable problem and finally closing in on a solution....but my existing failed cable is so stubborn upon removal that it seems that the inner cable is welded to the outer housing....I have heard about the clutch cable becoming the ground for the car and I wonder how often this occurs and what are the symptoms?? I would like to prevent this from occurring while I am in clutch cable repair mode....thank you very much!!

Common, it happened to me. Just make sure your ground strap is making good contact, and replace it if it looks crappy.
Easy simple solution that should be part of your spring ritual to check before the drive season. |
