clutch cable

nice_head · 16-11-2005, 07:35 PM

Theres something wiv my cossie and clutch cables, ive snapped 3 cables in the last 4 months and i reckon the fourth is on its way coz the pedal is getting stiffer again..

Why does it keep on snapping?

Hi, are you running a standard cutch or a paddle type?

check the routing near the turbo - are you melting them ?

filthyrichie · 17-11-2005, 06:23 AM

have u got it routed right at the pedal ..sometimes they cut through on the bracket by the ratchet and pawl unit

im the same as you pal, i snapped loads and what had happened was i was snapping them where it goes through the bulk head,n.r ratchet, the cable isnt sitting right and its slowly wearing through them.now i have to make sure its seated correctly and just keep checking.some 1 told me that this is a fault on sapphires.I dont know how true it is though.if your cable is not snapping here it could be your turbo melting it!

hope you sort it

she's running a pedal clutch, the funny thing is, is that engine advantages fitted my a new clutch back in july and a new cable and when i ask bout the cable snapping, they said it might be something to do wiv my clutch plate or something..

id get on to ea and get them to sort it,especially since its only happened since they fitted your clutch

The clutchcable doesn´t seem to cope with the extra tension made by uprated clutch plates (not sure what i is called in english, but a direct translation from norwegian would be "pressure plate" )

Mine always snaps by the pedal, and I think it´s because it has the sharpest bend there. (around the plastic adjustment sprocket(?) )

yeah thats where mine always snaps to..

mine has snapp a couple of times too since ive owned it, by the ratchet again, and my mates sapphire snapped his last week... by the ratchet. Goode do a replacement cable doing away with the ratchet and pawl auto adjustment, but it costly at £175 for manual adjustment.

Anybody used one yet? Could always go Hydraulic?!?!?! ££££s

i melted 1 of mine next to the turbo so put heat wrap around it and was fine.
