Was out dirt sliding in the KE55 coupe, and the cluch cable decided to give up and snap.

 

-Has anyone replaced one?

 

-Does anyne in Adelaide have a spare one?

 

-How much effort is involved (keeping in mind this car cost $50, but runs like a banshee and would like to keep it as a thrasher.)

 

Cheers

Go to U-Pull-It and grab a cable. The cable's are a piece of piss to replace so remove the clip holding the cable in under the bonnet and get your arse up under the dash and unhook the cable :D

I had a feeling that it would end up being a u-pull-it affair

P.S: driving from Lobathal down gorge road with no clutch is fun and the gear box does love it :D

:D :) :y: is proably what your car is feeling

only having to stop would be fun, but even then you can restart with it in first no worries

clutchless gear changing is rather simple in a k50, just gotta match the revs

anywho, shouldnt be too bad to fix

the only trouble i had (don't know if this is the same on earlier models as mine was a ke70) but getting the bush back thru the bracket on the gearbox end of things can be an ass of a job...

i used a little screw driver to gently encourage it through

g/l mate :P

lhd ones are a pain in the ass!!!

you got 2 pulleys before it comes out on the right side of the firewall

yeah I had to stall it and then start it in first. Changing up gears is fine, just changing back while in the twisties was a little interesting.

 

Will be tackeling the problem this weekend

shouldnt be too bad, just pop her outta gear, blip the throttle to above hte revs you would be doin once in the gear you wanna go down to then hold it against the synchros and theyll slot in

its interesting in mine going into second as the synchro is almost fubbared totally :(

^^ That sucks

Yep, I just replaced the one on my KE15 (had to have a new one made as well, pretty expensive) and spent a while upside down under the dash... but basically it's a simple job!

went out to U-Pull-It on the weekend and there were no KE clutch cables, they'd all been pinched or they were auto's

 

Dam it

I might have a ke30 one if you want it. Just pay postage and you can have it.

I'm in NSW
