I would seriously consider looking at the input retainer. The stock ones are aluminum and gall from the throwout bearing sliding back and forth.

Get a steel retainer, drop the tranny and replace that crappy alum one. Lube the shaft of the new retainer with anti-seize compound.

I used to break cables every few months until I went with the steel retainer.

Good luck,

Rich D.
