Stretched Cable
 

Well after those clutch problems I'd been having, I took and dropped my car off at the Dealership today to get worked on. Yes the dealership, they actually gave me the cheapest price to replace my clutch, believe it or not. Anyways, i got a call back and I was let known that i deffinitly had a stretched out clutch cable. My question is, if the cable was so stretched out, why wouldn't the pawl have adjusted some for that? I talked to one of the mechanics there before i took my car in, and he also took a look at it and said the pawl is in the normal location for the cable being fine. Can the cable get so stretched that the pawl cannot adjust for it?

i would get your car back from the dealership, and go buy and adjustable clutch cable, the stock quadrant sucks, mine looked to be in goodworking order when i pulled it out but it didnt adjust for anything. so i would just go buy an adjustable cable, make sure you get one with the firewall adjuster(having to climb underneath to adjust it all the time sucks) HOPE THAT HELPS.

And who was it that said your cable was probably just stretched? :D

ummm....not you...:D might've been the mechanic or something...lol

Ok so my cable is stretched...but i don't see why the pawl wouldn't have adjusted for that?? any idea?

Not if your pawl breaks.
