Subject: Re: Broken Clutch Cable? Author: Laurence Fletcher [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:57:23 02/10/06 Fri In reply to: Matthew 's message, "Broken Clutch Cable?" on 11:43:13 02/10/06 Fri >Feels like the clutch cable broke on my Karmann Ghia. >How can I diagnose and fix this problem? >Please e-mail me w/ any help you may have. >Thanks, Matthew >mattyhoo32@aol.com Get a friend to wiggle the clutch pedal, whilst you go under the back end with a torch (and goggles). It's easier if you remove the left rear wheel, follow the drive shaft from the wheel hub to the gearbox (the oily thing), on top of the gearbox, and to the rear from the driveshaft you should see a 4 inch lever pointing upwards, with the cable and a wingnut adjuster on the end. This lever should move when the pedal is moved in and out. if it doesn't, the cable has broken, or has come unhooked from the pedal. Sometimes the hook on the pedal can wear and break, but you will have to dismantle the pedal cluster to see that. Good Luck [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
