ISSUE: A hard to shift transmission or broken clutch cable may be caused by a clutch cable that was misrouted during assembly. Misrouting the clutch cable can cause a kink in the cable cover which slowly wears and breaks the cable strands.

ACTION: To correct this, install a new clutch cable. Refer to the Tracer Shop Manual, Section 16-02 for service details.


NOTE: MAKE SURE THE NEW CLUTCH CABLE HOUSING DOES NOT GET KINKED DURING INSTALLATION.
