Broken clutch cables

[yumabrat]

First of all, some info. I have a 1978 brat. It seems like the life of a clutch cable for me is about six-eight months. When it breaks, it breaks right where the cable connects to the clutch pedal assembly. Is there any history of clutch cable problems. At first, I thought maybe it was the clutch it self, so I replaced it with new components (disk, pilot bearing, clutch cover, and throw out bearing). Please help. Even though the cable is a snap to replace, I am getting tired of getting stranded at the worst possible moment.

 

Thanks a million,

James

Seem to remember hearing of a problem with early 80s soobs and the attachment point on the pedal.. perhaps this applies to late 70s as well.
