Clutch Cable

CLUTCH CABLE

Fig. 8:

The manual transaxle clutch release system has a unique self-adjusting mechanism to compensate for clutch disc wear. This adjuster mechanism is located within the clutch cable assembly. The preload spring maintains tension on the cable. This tension keeps the clutch release bearing continuously loaded against the fingers of the clutch cover assembly.

ADJUSTER MECHANISM FUNCTION CHECK
1. With slight pressure, pull the clutch release lever end of the cable to draw the cable taut. Push the clutch cable housing toward the dash panel. With less than 25 lbs. of effort the cable housing should move 30 - 50 mm. This indicates proper adjuster mechanism function. If the cable does not adjust, determine if the mechanism is properly seated on the bracket.
2. If the adjust mechanism functions properly, guide the cable through the slot in the transaxle housing. Connect cable to release lever, seating the cupped washer securely on lever tangs.
3. Pull back on clutch cable housing and insert into transaxle housing.
4. Reinstall cable inspection cover and air cleaner assembly. Check clutch pedal position switch operation.
