I removed the clutch cable last night. This created some questions. I
had a difficult time sliding the cable out from between the fan
housing and the transmission. The rubber dust boot kept hanging up
and stoping the removal. Is there something I need to dissasemble in
order to get more clearence? Also, the only way I could see to
disconect the cable from the pedal was to drop the pedals off the
pivot point. Even with that, removing the pin was very difficult. Any
advice will be welcomed.
Thanks
Jim

Re: clutch cable install help
Jim,
I just removed the cable myself, while in the process of removing my engine. I can only tell you that it came out intact when I pulled hard enough. You may want to secure any "loose" bits of sheathing around the end of the cable before you do this, with tape perhaps - I didn't have any trouble without doing it, but maybe it is a good precaution to avoid it getting caught as it passes under the fan. Also be sure to leave room on the side you are pulling it to, to avoid kinking.
Sorry I didn't have a more authoritative plan. I guess you COULD remove the fan housing - I can't say if that's possible with the engine in the car, though.
Good luck,
Steve
