Default clutch cable

My car was getting hard to put into gears so I looked it over and my clutch cable was kinked and when you push the clutch in the outside layer of the cable would spring out/ kink outward. it was like an inch and a half long so I taped it really tight and put a bunch of zip ties on it really tight and its fine for now. But how hard is it to change the cable ?

Default RE: clutch cable

shortly after i got my car the old cable broke so i ordered a zoom adjustable cable and it wasn't near as bad as i thought to install. i took the driver seat out for extra room. others may be different but i had to graphite the inside of the cable because it was really hard to push at first. the graphite worked the trick...really easy to push now. it was just about 70 bucks and took about an hour to install. i love the adjustability. i can put the clutch anywhere i want it to catch. hope this helps a little..

Default RE: clutch cable

cables are a breeze. i did 2 of them one for each of my cars and then another for my friend.
there's a mount on the firewall, and a mount on the subframe below the battery area.
if you get a new cable get a adjustable one like quickstang said with a new quadrant.
