BobBrumby Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I just finsihed changing my clutch as the old one had no adjustment left, when I looked the old plate there still seemed to have little bit of depth in it probably 3mm. With the new clutch in using the old cable i only have less then half an inch of adjustment!!! This would most probably be due to a stretched clutch cable or a flywheel that has been worn too much?

85Sub4WD Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 A while back, a mechanic who has worked on soobs since the 360 was in prod. told me that they do stretch - will pro'lly replace mine soon as it is orig. and I don't want it to snap on me unexpectedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Hill Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 A while back, a mechanic who has worked on soobs since the 360 was in prod. told me that they do stretch - will pro'lly replace mine soon as it is orig. and I don't want it to snap on me unexpectedly They stretch, I put 170,000 miles on my original one in the '83. I finally replaced it while doing another job on the car. I got a lot more adjustment and it felt like it had been greased! I had no idea how stiff my old cable had gotten. A new one was only $20.00 USD and it was a breeze to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBrumby Posted April 4, 2005 Author Share Posted April 4, 2005 yes once this new clutch has worn to no adjustament ill either replace the cable or put in a spacer. Cheers for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just dont use a bunch of washers like I did. I like the idea of using a socket. The washers I put on mine are sliding back and forth and causing problems. I am just going to get another clutch cable.
