I had broken at least 4 of them before I figured out that you should grease it really well before installing it. I would just pull the cable out at one end and keep packing grease into it, then moving to the other end. Worked like a charm, last 8v clutch cable lasted me around 6months or so :)

Subject: I love my car

I love my car,

every day,

all seven thousand miles I've put on it so far,

every turn, on ramp, off ramp, in between on and off ramps,

curves, straights,

even the squeaks and rattles.

 

Today my clutch cable snapped so I'm feeling sentimental

while I'm off the road.

 

Cheers,

Nathan

two-piece clutch cable, now)
