Beginning in 1989 m.y., self-adjusting clutch cables were revised to include a sheath (arrow). The self-adjusting cable mechanism cannot be
disassembled.
The revised clutch cable with sheath cannot be compressed with 3151 during removal/installation as with previous self-adjusting clutch cables. When
replacing a clutch cable, the strap that is supplied with the new cable can be left on after installation for future use.
If a production-installed cable needs to be removed/installed, a retaining strap must be cut from a replacement cable and used to compress the spring.
