Clutch Cable: Service and Repair
Manual Clutch Cable
REMOVAL
1. Loosen the cable adjusting sleeve locknut and turn until tension is relieved in the cable. Remove all parts from the cable end beneath the clutch
release lever and pull the cable end from the lever.
2. Unhook the cable from the top of the clutch pedal assembly and pull the cable through the firewall from the engine compartment side.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the clutch cable. Be sure to lubricate both ends of the cable with multi-purpose grease, then insert the cable end through the firewall and
hook the cable onto the clutch pedal.
2. Position the rubber washer and rubber grommet properly.
CAUTION: Make sure that all rubber parts are installed correctly. If parts are not installed properly, the transaxle vent which is protected by the
rubber washer could become clogged, causing oil to leak past the seals.
3. Insert clutch cable end through rubber grommet and the release lever. Attach all parts to the end of the cable.
