zyewdall Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 So, I'm putting some silicon spray lubricant on all the moving parts yesterday -- throttle linkages, door hinges, and such. The clutch cable was sort of stiff, so I put some on it. Now it makes a loud squeak/groan under the dashboard when you depress the clutch. No change in the stiffness. What's up with that? I guess you're supposed to replace them, not lubricate them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Its probably routed wrong. Check to see if theres a rub spot on the cable where it lies on the steering linkage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Update: It appeared to be routed right. I replaced it with a new one, and it's good now. Maybe the silicon spray lubricant just wasn't compatible with whatever the factory lubricant was, or who knows. Squeaky wheel gets the grease (or in this case, gets replaced).
