Re: Clutch cable

["Steven Toughill" <stoughill@home.com>]

You should remove the cable and check it for damage.
If it's okay or even if you elect to replace it lube it good with spray
grease.
After installing adjust it so there is only 5mm of loose space between the
cable sheath base and the rubber bushing that's in the tranny.
